BIG NEWS!!!

Big, big news in the Riley house! We are ADOPTING!! Today we got the official approval from our agency(Carolina Adoption Services). We feel that international adoption is the right path for our family and have chosen the Russia program.

This blog has been created to keep our friends and family updated during this process. At times this could be the most boring thing you read all day. A great deal of this journey requires A LOT of paperwork. Some days we may ramble on about how excited we are our I-600A is completed or that we successfully had our documents notarized. BUT when we travel to Russia you will want to tune back in. That's when the story will become a page turner.Our goal is to document this journey. The triumphs and the bumps in the road.

Happiness, excitement, and anticipation!! We are ready to become a family of three!

Over the next few days, weeks, and months we will explain the adoption process in more detail and possibly some fun facts about Russia.
