A year ago we traveled overseas to adopt our sons. We had to spend 8 weeks in Kazakhstan to complete the adoptions. We documented our journey each day to communicate with family and friends back home. What started as a communication device turned into quite a story. After much cajoling from family and friends, we decided to get our story published. We want to share our story with the world and offer hope to those trying to adopt or to those thinking about adoption. It is a special, heartwarming story. It was a struggle to remain overseas for 2 months. We didnt even know what to expect. We were led through an orphange with over 100 children. It broke our hearts because they all need good homes. Luckily we found our boys and we are so in love with them. What a roller coaster adoption is but it is well worth it. Please visit us at www.adoptionexcursion.com and check out our journal. No matter what road you take, remember that adoption will have its ups and downs but it is worth it in the end. We've been in your situation and know how you are feeling. I hope our story inspires you. We wish you luck in your journey. OurAdoptionStory@adoptionexcursion.com
