In the battle between heart and mind... our hearts have won. Although we know how hard it will be to raise the money for a 2nd adoption and how difficult the process is, we have decided to go for it. We will soon be signing on with an adoption agency and will have officially started the process.

We also made the decision of which agency and more importantly which country. We will be going back to Kazakhstan. This time however, we will be adopting an older child. There are so many people waiting to adopt infants and toddlers. It is not important to us to have such a young child. There are thousands of older children waiting for families who will likely never have what they so desperately want and need. So with that in mind, we have decided to adopt a 5 or 6 yo boy.

We are so excited to get this started and hopefully in the not so distant future bring home our new son.
