Adoption Timeline

April '06 - Originally decided on Kazakhstan.
May - Found homestudy agency and set up appointment.
June - Completed homestudy by end of month.
August - Ran into some complications that caused us to rethink this country. Contemplating which country to switch to. This process took several months!
March - Picked Estonia
April '07 -Contacted the agency and selected Bridgit!. We will have our homestudy update done within the next 2 or 3 weeks. Also, updated this timeline and posted.
Nov. 07- Got final copy of homestudy.
Dec. 07 - Dossier sent to Estonia.
Oct. 08 - ADOPTION IS FINISHED!!!!!

So, it's been a long year and we still have 6 to 12 months to go! But, I feel that this time we will actually be bringing our child home. I have read several blogs where the couple have spent 3 or 4 years before they actually got to bring the child/children home. I guess if it only takes me 2 then I should count my blessings!
