Welcome - ยินดีต้อนรับ

Hello all family and friends!

With great excitement, we started our adoption journey in August 2008. We are now first time parents through adoption of an 8-year-old son from Thailand. We have chosen to build our family through the adoption of a son from Thailand because this is where we feel God is leading us right now.

It took 1 year and 9 months to bring Ray home and it was totally worth it!

We appreciate all of your love and support. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

WACAP in Thailand

So, the CEO of WACAP is now in Thailand and we're so excited because this means when she gets back, we'll get updated photos, info, and questions answered about the child we're so close to having a hold on. In the midst of all this paperwork and red tape, it's nice to remember that there's a child waiting for a loving family...just like we're waiting for him.

Hey i know exactly how you feel. We have registered interest in siblings also from WACAP's waiting children's list. We hope to get some more info once they return. I am keeping busy, seems like time passes a lot quicker that way. Hope they get lots of pics and info on your little guy! We are just finishing up with our parenting resources plan and sending them a draft of our home study hopefully by Tuesday.

Hi! I'm on the same Thailand adoption yahoo group as you! It's always great to meet other Thai adoptive families! We adopted our son through WACAP in 2005, and are in process again. I'm excited to follow your journey! What an exciting time, as you see what child God has in store for your family!

Why are we adopting internationally and not domestically?
While we think adopting domestically is extremely important, our hearts are drawn to the waiting children in other countries. Some of our closest friends and relatives have adopted, are adopted themselves, or are planning to adopt internationally. This has been a wonderful experience for them, as I am confident our adoption will be for us.

Why are we adopting from Thailand?
The number one reason is simply...that's where our son is living right now. Also, the Thai people are extremely laid back and friendly and the adoption process is very straight forward in Thailand and has been around for decades so there should be no surprises or corruption. After researching our other options, the requirements to adopt from Thailand fit our requirements. If we decide to adopt again, we will reevaluate the different countries and domestic programs.
