You really do 'meet' the neatest people online during this whole adoption process. Its gotten a bit scary how much I feel like I know a few of the parents going through this adoption in Nepal. A few of my online compadres include:
* Matt: from Northwest Denver who answered a question for me on NChild. He and his wife are in the process of their second international adoption.
* Anne: I worked with Anne years ago. In January, she saw my status update on Facebook that Nepal had reopened. She decided to start down the adoption road in Nepal.
* Tanya and Jay: I secretly gave a cheer for them because they received their I-171H today.
* Patti: she was in my first education class and is a single trying to decide which country to pursue
* Lisa and Len: they moved to a new city and are in the process of trying to get all the new dossier requirements put together
And then Michelle (http://malodorousmesses.com)emailed and asked if I wanted to co-moderate a new Yahoo group she was forming. This group -- NepalAdopt -- is a new forum for prospective adoptive parents adopting from Nepal. The difference with this group and NChild is that these are parents actively engaged with the dossier process. Both groups will be beneficial. So, please feel free to encourage others to join us. The more, the merrier!
I am glad to have 'met' all of you and I look forward to all of my new friends I have yet to meet during this process.

My dossier just went to Nepal and I am interested in joining the new adoption group on Yahoo. How do I go about joining this group?
Thanks - Candice
Great! Go to Yahoo Groups (if you dont know how to get there just Google Yahoo Groups and it pops up first). Once you are on the site, you can search for NepalAdopt and our group will pop up. You will then just need to send a note to the moderator and we will accept you! I am excited for you...
Very excited to find you! We are Brits living in Dubai who have been on the Nepal adoption journey since October 06.
Feel free to check out our blog - Entries January 19th, June, July and then .... August 6th 2007 will explain the first year of our tale.
We'll def be joining the Yahoo group. Found NChild a huge support during our loss and ahve met the most amazing people through it.
People on the other side of the world but the genuine warmth, support and care comes through loud and clear.
Glad to make your acquaintance and I hope our paths will cross one day in Kathmandu!!
Hi Caroline, can't seem to access your blog- but we too are Brits living in Dubai- please tell me where/how did you start and how long has it taken? Many thanks Karen
