We just found out that we need to be in Vladivostok on July 22nd. Therefore, we will be departing from Chicago on July 20th. Yes....as you can tell...it takes a LONG time to get there! Our travel itinerary is about 35 hours! We will be in Vladivostok until Friday, July 27th and will arrive home on the 29th. Whew! What a trip! We have our I-Pods loaded and are bringing a few books/magazines. It will be an adventure. ;o)
Regarding our concerns about the health of the girls, we have been emailing with our pediatrician and she strongly suggests that we talk to Dr. Ira Chasnoff. He is an expert in International Adoption (and more notably....Fetal Alcohol Syndrome). Therefore, we are probably going to schedule an appointment to meet with him and get his advice. This is a HUGE decision and we want to gather as many facts before we travel as possible. So.....we'll see what he says! Then, once we meet the girls we will combine our instincts with the knowledge that we have gained, along with A LOT OF PRAYER as to whether we should accept these girls or not. Yikes! What a big decision. We'll keep you posted on everything.
