Doug and I are speakers representing Frank Adoption Center this coming Thursday at an adoption workshop in a local community. Well, it's put on by our homestudy agency, Child and Parent Services, but the director of Frank asked us to speak on our Russia trip on their behalf. Two other agencies will be there as well to talk about other countries (Russia, China, Guatemala, Kazakhstan, India, Bulgaria, Colombia, Panama, Taiwan, Ukraine, and Vietnam). I am interested in hearing about a couple of the other places.
Anyway, our information sheet telling us what to prepare for our presentation also mentioned that we should feel free to bring any scrapbooks, short videos, or pictures. And now I'm thinking - I sure wish I had time to do Roman's scrapbook. I've done it up to the referral stage, but that's it! Others I have talked to who have participated in this said no one brings pictures, but on the other hand, I think I would want to look at them if I was thinking about adopting from Russia; I'd want to see physically what other couples did. So now I'm in a dilemma. Do I not worry about it, and just wish I had done something? Do I take time out of other things I need to do to make a picture album and at least label some pictures? (and then perhaps it is a waste of time, and I'd regret it?).
What a dilemma. I'm leaning toward not doing it, and then regretting it.
