The international adoption community is no different. There is a great deal of curiosity and rumour. There are people who are told something and pass it along, but it is always open for interpretation.
The upcoming Bill in Russia is a matter of great conversation and great pain for many - and it's hard to find out what the real story is.
But we hold on to every bit of information we can and worry about each piece of news and hope with all our hearts that some of the gossip isn't true.
Today, however, we hope the gossip is.
Through a wide range of contacts and friends, we heard a piece of news from a newspaper in Finland. We have hope.
The article discusses the upcoming bill that has been proposed to ban international adoptions outside of bilateral agreements. Apparently the bill wouldn't take effect until January 2014.
That means we could still get through! We could bring our child home!
Oh how we hope this is true! Having just finished our home study this week it has been very hard and very emotional to complete such a large part of the adoption process only to hear that it is likely all for nothing.
Please keep your fingers crossed for us!
