To say that there aren't many families adopting from Burkina is an understatement. :) If you'd email me, I'd love to connect with you. <br /><br />cristine.dorsey@yahoo.com<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your story-- and these photos of waiting children.<br /><br />Cris Cristine Dorseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00849520966405654630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1857265142751802557.post-83606697625913823702012-09-14T11:06:23.259-07:002012-09-14T11:06:23.259-07:00yup, it's Hague!yup, it's Hague!<br />ESolgoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05203757259724893426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1857265142751802557.post-31768525798316360242012-09-14T10:56:12.319-07:002012-09-14T10:56:12.319-07:00yes, we have our last home study visit next week. ...yes, we have our last home study visit next week.

Also my husband takes meds for depression that makes us not eligible for many countries......so frustrating. So Bulgaria has pretty easy travel....two trips of 5-7 days and they are ok with meds. I will go on AAI's website and see what I can find out.kellym9999https://www.blogger.com/profile/10712792910389004481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1857265142751802557.post-18247493336391403432012-09-14T10:19:54.126-07:002012-09-14T10:19:54.126-07:00Hi Kelly, so sorry about your lost referral, that ...Hi Kelly, so sorry about your lost referral, that is heartbreaking. The agency is Adoption Advocates International. All the info about BF adoption you need is there. I agree about her looking long, but I think its just the perspective on the photo. Also, I can give you the email address for the American woman in Burkina who facilitates these adoptions- Ruth Cox. yakorphans@gmail.com I have to say I'm super excited that you are even considering this!ESolgoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05203757259724893426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1857265142751802557.post-82079823084272266212012-09-14T10:07:59.801-07:002012-09-14T10:07:59.801-07:00Erika, Where can I find info about adopting from ...Erika, Where can I find info about adopting from Burkina Faso? I don't think we will qualify but I want to look into it. Also is Christina's birth year right? She looks really long for 9 months. What agency has these kiddos files? We are almost done with an international home study for Bulgaria....but we lost the little girl with spina bifida who we were hoping to adopt :(kellym9999https://www.blogger.com/profile/10712792910389004481noreply@blogger.com
