your children are beautiful!!!! We're matched and expecting our daughter soon, I"ll post a picture of her soon , she's full AA. By the way, we nearly started Liberian adoption but were matched the same week we were going to sign up to revise our homestudy for international. We'd definitely think about adopting from Liberia if there's a 2nd adoption in our future.

Adoption journey: homestudy completed 7/04, signed with facilitator 11/04, matched 12/04, daughter born 2/05, adoption final 4/05

Fost/Adopt journey: legal risk, preadoptive placement of V 10/08, state went to reuniting 1/09, V back w/family 7/09, state seeking custody again 11/09 - too late for us.

9/09 preadoptive match made from photolisting with boy T, will meet in person 10/09, placement potentially 11/09

Joskimo,

Congradulations and hope all has gone well!!

We hade a couple of bumps with our Liberian process but all in all the system is really good now. One weird thing is my daughter is a bit lighter than most(yet I saw quite a few her skin tone) and they wanted to charge us more! In the end they didn't because there is truly all diffrent tones of browns in all of Africa..

Here is another picture of my sweetie!!She was giggling all day, in her sleep to! We didn't know why!

I don't know if my post will get bleeped for using the name - but we went thru Heaven Sent Adoptions, facilitator specializes in AA and BiR placement. We were matched in 7 weeks. If this gets bleeped, pm me and I"ll give you the name and URL
