First Update

Hello Friends and Family!

As many of you know, our plans to adopt another child started just after AbbyLiz was placed in our lives. Traveling to China, becoming parents, having an absolutly wonderful daughter of our very own are all dreams come true. We feel so blessed to have AbbyLiz in our lives and feel we have so much more love to share. Our new dreams are to add to our family, a son.
In january 2007 we began to gather our documents to adopt a boy from Mongolia. We chose Holt International and had our dossier complete and in Mongolia in August of 2007, with hopes of a 2008 referral. In January 2008, Holt has advised us of Mongolia's new policies. We were told families with children adopted from other countries were no longer being accepted by the Mongolian Government. Our dossier would most likely be denied. Holt advised us to look at other programs they offered. To our surprise, Thailand fits our family well. Our local social worker and Holt have agreed to help us transfer our documents to Thailand.
So, that is where we are...........preparing our documents for Thailand. We hope to have our dossier in Thailand this spring and hope to travel to our son next year.

We are a happy family of 3! Kevin and I adopted Abby in June of 2004 with Families Thru International Adoption. Adopting Abby was an experience we could never forget. She is 4 and a half now acting more like she is 7. She is in preschool and also has taken dance for 2 years. Soon she starts T-ball and is a bundle of fun.
