Welcome to our family's adoption blog! We are Stephanie and Frank Ruckman a family blessed with two daughters living in Tennessee. Frank and I have always felt led to adoption but recently decided it was time to quit talking and start acting. This blog is simply our journey to bring home "baby brother". We believe God brings our families together in many different ways. If you read our blog you will understand that adoption can take you down may paths. At first we thought our child was going to be joining us via Bulgaria now we have learned our journey is going to detour to Moscow!!

Paperwork

After a recommendation from our agency in Bulgaria we adjusted our home study. All we simply changed was to add our requested child age from 0-24 months old to 0-36 months old. We where told they would always try to get the youngest child possible for us if that is what we wanted but that they thought this would look favorable for us as a family to the court system. For some reason this little detail change really was a struggle for me to decide. In hindsight it is funny that it rattled me so much. I have always thought our son would probably be 2-3 years old but for some reason just having to make another decision rattled my cage. I think I had just been so relieved at the fact that we where finished with everything we could do that the slightest decision was very hard to make. All over with now! Paperwork done and sent! Now we just wait again to hear from our Bulgarian contacts. I laugh and joke at the fact that some time I feel like we are dealing with some secret underground world like the Mafia. I am just glad that we have the real "Godfather" in control. Thank you all for your prayers and best wishes!!!
