Four years
It was four years ago yesterday that we initially decided to adopt. It wasn't until that December that we started the paperwork and we took the two months in between to do our research and decide on a country. We had initially decided on China since there have been so many adoptions from there here in Newfoundland, but after 6 months we realized that the program there was rapidly slowly down. We then settled on Thailand or the Philippines and I spoke to a few people who had adopted from both of these countries. We ended up choosing the Philippines and we are so glad that we did. We've met so many nice families along the way.

Oh, how time flies, right? We're working on eight years come February that we made the decision to adopt - and we had a change of country in there, too. I guess we're defintely led to where our child is - and in the right time (although it would be nice if that time was now, wouldn't it?) We also thought about starting with China, but I wasn't 30 at the time and I didn't want to wait that long. All I can say now is - well, 30 has come and gone. I guess it wasn't meant to be. And you're right - Philippines PAPs and APs are some pretty awesome people :)
Renee...we had a get together today of some families who have adopted from the PI from the same orphanage. Your name came up! Those of us who have been on the board awhile know you have been waiting an incredibly long while. We all hope it happens for you soon!
Kelly and Jennifer thanks alot for thinking of us! I am really hoping and praying that both Jennifer and us hearing something very soon. It is a long road for sure, but it will be so worth it in the end as Kelly can attest to!!
