Russian adoptions suspended

redhead1214

I am just at a loss. I just finished my dossier and was going to mail it off to ur agency the beginning of next week.

I don't even know what to do. Wait? Find another country and do a another dossier?

Dr.Loretta

I'm so sorry to hear that. Have you consulted with your agency to see what they recommend?

I am sorry this is happening to you and all of the others that are now having to deal with this. It is shocking is about all I can say.

I've been thinking about all of you working towards your Russian adoptions.  I second the PP.  Contact your agency and see what they have to say.

Sorry. See what the agency says maybe this is something that can be worked out quickly. Let us know. I feel for you and the other families.

I am so sorry you are suffering. I hope this all gets worked out soon.

I am so very sorry.

Honestly, if I were in your situation, I'd consider looking at what other programs your agency offers and see if any of them fit your family.  If so, you can start pulling a dossier together for one of them.  If the Russian thing is worked out quickly and diplomatically, you shouldn't be out much, and if it's not, at least you'll still be on your way to growing your family.  If Russia sticks to its demands that new rules must be developed before they will allow any further adoptions, it's likely to be quite a while.

My heart breaks for you and for all the families in progress--especially those who were close to bringing their child home/have already met their child.

The State Department just announced that Russian adoptions are NOT suspended despite rumors they are! Hope this continues to hold true.

Honestly, if I were in your situation, I'd wait up to a month and see what happens...  Aren't representatives from the US State Department going to Moscow tomorrow or Monday to begin talks with the Russians?  Right now, I'd sit tight for a couple weeks, and keep in touch with your agency about what your options might be.

Like Capt.Serious, my heart breaks for all the families who were in progress and especially those who've already met their child(ren) but haven't yet been to court.

I've seen a bunch of media reporting that a spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry says otherwise.  So much confusion this past week!  It's crazy.

At any rate, there are people from the US State Dept. going to Moscow soon, so if I were you, OP, I'd hang tight and wait a few weeks until the dust settles a bit.
