About 3 yrs ago, when we decided to adopt, we had no idea that adoption could be such a hard process. It took us a while to finalize our agency and the adoption country but we feel glad that we chose “Adoption Ark”.
Adoption Ark and our case worker Maeven were very good in providing guidelines for the process as well as any help that we needed during the process. International adoption involves so many institutes and people, it is hard to expect the things to go perfect but I can’t think any things would have gone better for us. Our trip to Kazakhstan went very well with the support of the coordinator and translator over there. The memories of the orphanage where we got to meet our 3 kids Alex, Victor and Angel are just unforgettable for us. Each of the kids that we got to meet in orphanage was beautiful and had a desire to have a family. During the little time we spent over there, we discovered a whole different world far from home – entirely different culture, food, language but it mattered less as our kids still understood the language of love. Far from home, we built strong relations with the other families who were also there for adoption which made things to go easier.
It was very happy day when we brought our kids home. Our Alex is 5 yrs, Victor is 4 yrs and Angel is 2 yrs. We started the adoption process with desire to adopt 1 child and we can’t really explain how and when it changed to 2 and then to have 3 children but we always feel that it was God’s plan for us. First few months, when it had been just challenging to teach kids a new way of life, it feels good to see the results as they are quickly adopting the language, environment, home. There are ups and downs but it is beautiful.
Our heartiest Thanks go to “Adoption Ark” for helping us in our journey to Adoption.
