The Adoption Journey Part II
Well the holidays have come and gone and we have been pondering something fr quite some time and finally decided to act. We have decided to start the process of our second adoption! Why now, well the process takes some time and with the paperchase and all we felt we were in a postion where that is what we want t do. It was not a decision made lightly but now that we have decided we are ready to go for it. This time we are going to adopt from Mexico! Why? Well several reasons. Mexico was a country we looked at originally several years ago and at the time we decided against it due to the process, as well as we felt Vietnam was where we should be for the journey we made.( Which proved oh so true!) Now as we hope our family grows we looked at Mexico again and it seemed the right fit for us. No specifics on age gender etc, that sort of thing we hope to keep to the family until later. But why Mexico,? Gene lived there in 1990 and has a very strong affinity for the country and the people. Because of that and other factors we felt strongly about Mexico the second time around. Like the journey for Sadie, we do not expect smooth sailing. It will be a time of ups and downs, headaches and joys but we hope to chronicle as much as we can here in this blog for folks. So stay tuned!

Hi Gene and Deanna,
I don't know if you remember me but our daughter was in the same orphanage as your Sadie. I still look at your blog now and then hoping for an update. Glad to hear you are going for #2. We are getting ready to start also. Good luck!!
Sadie is a beauty!
Hi Gene and Deanna,
Best of luck on your 2nd adoption.
Your Sadie is just too cute!!
I am also looking into Mexico for my second adoption, my first was my daughter from Guatemala.
Just wondering what agency you are using and how the process is going.
Please email me if you have any advice for me as we are at the beginning stages of this adoption.
Thanks nikki
