Hi- New here!
Hi,
This is a great forum! I just wanted to introduce myself - I'm Jessica, mommy to a beautiful 21 months old adopted son. We are looking into adopting from Russia next. I can't wait to get to know you all. Jess

Welcome
 Where is your son from? Russian adoptions are going pretty smooth right now, but agencies that had to wait for re-accreditation are backlogged, and there are many more declined referrals now because so many Russians are adopting/fostering the healthiest young children.

Welcome Jess! Domestic and Intl. adoptions are in some ways the same but procedurally quite different. I wish you the best on your journey.
