We met with a social worker from a local agency last week. She was great and she answered all of our questions.
This agency deals with China, Vietnam, Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan. They also deal with India, but we'd have to have some Indian heritage, so that one is out for us. We have to choose a country before we send in our initial application.
We really feel that international adoption is the right thing for us to do. Our plan now is to go to a couple of other information meetings before the end of the year. We also have to work out a plan to save up some money. Thankfully, the money is due in increments throughout the process But we still have a lot of money to save. We're trying to think of some creative ways we can add to our adoption account.
I (Sherry) will probably end up going back to work full time at some point. I've already committed to teaching at the community college part time for the Spring semester. So I'm thinking I would hopefully start something full time in the summer or fall.
