Still Russia?

Yesterday we received the news that the process of adopting from Russia will become longer and harder. This is happening because a Russian child who was adopted by an American family was abused by them and then died. Therefore, Russia is pissed off - and I think they have all the rights to be! The bad thing is that people that have good intentions, like us, will have to pay for this. It looks like we'll be left with only one region that we could adopt from: Kaliningrad and they will take longer, too. Right now, we are not sure if we'll keep going along with Russia or maybe we should switch the country. Next week I'll meet with the head of our adoption agency to talk about our options. At this point, we are also thinking Armenia, Bulgaria, India or Guatemala. Honestly, I hope we can stay with Russia but we'll see. Whatever it's meant to be...
Will keep you posted.
