There Is Hope

So, officially there has been no suspension of adoptions from Russia, although many single women have been experiencing some difficulties. Which stinks! I hope and pray that things can get resolved at the meeting on May 12th. I'm anxious to see the agreement! Posted below is what the U.S. Department of State website posted:

There has been no official suspension in adoptions of Russian orphans by American parents. However, in some parts of Russia, we are aware that adoptions are being slowed down or delayed. The United States and Russia held their first round of talks on adoption issues in Moscow on April 29. The discussions focused on the U.S. and Russian concerns regarding protecting the welfare and rights of children being adopted internationally. The talks were productive and an expert-level working group will travel to Moscow for further discussions on an adoption agreement on May 12, 2010.
