Dear Families,
You are about to embark on one of the most meaningful trips of your
life! We feel that it is very important that you are fully informed
regarding the process you will go through. It can be unsettling to
embark on such an adventure without some idea of what is in store.
For this reason we have put together this manual to take care of
much of the uncertainty so that the experience can be altogether
positive.
If you have adopted before, or if this is your first trip, it would
be to your advantage to take a look at this guide, to update
yourself on what to expect when you travel to adopt your child.
This website can also be used periodically as a reference guide and
topics can be found easily in the table of contents.
We will attempt to address many issues on this website, most of them
related to the adoption process, travel, and also some of the
cultural issues. Of course, we will not be able to address every
single issue related to travel, so we suggest you do some homework,
so that you are truly prepared for the trip. We suggest networking
with other families that have recently traveled, because these
families can be a wealth of information. Also a yahoo group is
available to all CHI families and you may find this helpful. To
join, please email Ann Tollefson at
met9995@swbell.net
and she will send you an invitation.
