Current and past Lithuanian adoptions.

My DH & I adopted our son from Lithuania in March 2006. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have. There are also 2 Yahoo groups and a national group for families who have adopted from Lithuania. I would be happy to send you the links if you are interested.Gina

Where was your son? We are currently trying to adopt two boys from Pagyne Children's home. It has been a long road!

Hi Sue, My son is from Kaunas, but not the Paygne Children's Home - he's from Lopselis. I think you are member of the Yahoo Lith group? If you aren't in the parenting group, let me know. There are quite a few families currently preparing to travel.Gina

LOL Sue,I just read your post on the parent's group :^)Gina

Could I please get the Lithuanian links from you, Gina? That would be really great!!!!! Thanks in advance. I read you were from Pennsylvania and are there a lot of Lith. adoptive families from Pennsylvania area? How did you find you wanted to adopt from Lithuania? I am 1/4 Lithuanian, so my husband and I wanted to do it from one of our backgrounds. We are adopting 2 boys as well. Although we don't know who they are at this time, we know they will be under 5 years old. We live in Cambridge, Ontario, and there are not many people that even know where Lithuania is here! If you have any connections with any Lithuanian groups, and they happen to hear of a group in Ontario, near Toronto, could you get me the info? My husband and I are currently learning the Lithuanian language, so we could use some help! THANKS!!!!!

How did you find out about Lithuania, as a country to adopt from? My husband and I decided Lithuania, because I am 1/4 Lithuanian. Where in Michigan are you from? I am originally from Kalamazoo area. Now, I live in Cambridge, Ontario. How long have you been going thru the process so far?
