Four plus three from Poland

Lifeline provided us the links to two blogs of other parents adopting from Poland.

www.ourextrapickles.blogspot.com  - Young married couple with no children adopting four children.  Love their blog and they do a great job of showing the process of adoption. 

www.barnettadopt.blogspot.com  - Married couple with no children adopting a little girl.  In their blog, they give helpful hints on how to save money to pay for the adopting.  Also great links related to Poland - shopping, weather, currency, etc...  They also have a great summary of the major milestones in the adoption process. 

Several other blogs I found:

www.polishadoption.weebly.com - Submitted I-800 on 7/6/11 then I-800 approved on 7/25/11 then Article 5 approved on 8/4/11 then traveled to Poland on 9/28/11 with final court date of 10/21/11.  They were in Poland for 6 weeks.  The Polish equal to Wal-Mart is Tesco, Carrefour, and E-Leclerc.  Note:  be sure to ask the orphanage about the children's likes and dislikes including sleeping habits.  Be sure to ask the orphanage for any pictures the children have growing up.
