Pre Adoption Class

On May 9th we went to a pre-adoption class with CHSFS. It was nice getting to meet other future adoptive parents. Nobody else was adopting from Russia. Oh well we were hoping to meet someone else adopting from Russia. There were about 20 people in the room. They were adopting from all over Ethiopia, Korea, Mexico, Peru and of course we are adopting from Russia. Ethiopia was by far the most popular. CHSFS does seem to have a strong program for Ethiopia as well as the Russian and Korean Program. Had we not already wanted to adopt from Russia we might have choosen one of these other programs. Just before the class there was a mad rush to make sure that all of the first round of paperwork was complete. CHSFS Does seem to have a lot of paperwork that others need in the second round in the first round so maybe second round won't be so long.
