Why Thailand?
Well, it feels right! Once we heard about Mongolia's changes we looked at all our options. We had planned on going to Mongolia before the year end, so this took some adjustment to our thinking. We knew we still wanted our son, where ever he is.
Once we talked to our Rep at Holt we knew that Thailand's adoption program fit us just as well as Mongolia. Financially is was do-able and the time frame was not as long as we originally had thought. With a bit of paperwork tweaking this month, we should be playing the waiting "game" with Thailand. Holts Sahathia Foundation has had long standing in Thailand. The children adopted through Holt are all in foster care. They have boys and girls available 14 months and up. The trip to Thailand is about 8 days, maybe a few more. Once our Dossier is in Thailand, we wait 1-6 months for approval and a match. Once we accept the child we wait another 4-8 months to travel.
YES- it does seem like a long time from now, but we have patience! What matters is the end result! A family of 4..............

Our "red thread" has taken a few extra twists and turns but I believe Shaun has his little hand around it just like Abby did 4 years ago. He is already part of our family and loved very much. We just have to trust God and follow that thread. I can't wait to give him Grama hugs!
