To answer Yvonne's question (and potentially there are many out there who have the same), we are still waiting for China and are doing what is called a "concurrent" adoption from Russia. There are timing issues with adoption...most countries won't let you adopt within a year or so of bringing home another child. Since the China wait is sooooo long, we won't have any issues there. We should be home with our Russian son for quite some time before we ever get our Chinese daughter.
And yes, we have decided to ask for a son from Russia. And we are leaving the twins option open in China. We won't quite be the United Nations family that Brad and Angelina have built, but gosh, I do sometimes envy them the number of children they are able to comfortably support.

Where are we in our China adoption journey?
Our dossier was logged in by the CCAA on December 25th, 2007. The current wait from LID to referral for a non-special needs child is around 8 years. Our dossier has been translated and is now in line for the Review Room, where the Chinese govt. will officially approve us to adopt. We are likely looking at another 6 years or so before we receive our referral if it even happens that quickly.

Sending prayers and good thoughts to you as you go through the adoption journey. I'm excited for you that you may have a son sooner than you expected. It could be a true millionaire's family with a boy first, then a girl!
