RUSSIA PROGRAM UPDATES

Professionals in Paperwork, Russia Documents Bring Together Families

During the first four months of 2008, the Children's Hope Russia Team sent a total of 3,751 different documents to Russia for our families. Many of these documents were in duplicate or triplicate, so the actual amount of documents sent is quite a bit higher.

2008 Adoptions completed: 33 (23 boys and 10 girls)

So far for May we have five families set for their court trip to Russia to finalize their adoption and seven families on their first trip!

"Maggie is doing great. She is very funny and makes me laugh all the time. We feel so blessed to have her every day even when she is "Oscar the Grouch," says mom Carol Hand. Carol and her husband Tom adopted Maggie from Tomsk, Russia in January 2006. Happy Mother's Day, Carol!

If you would like to share your thoughts, experiences or stories about your adoption,
