Uzbekistan is a pilot program. In 2006 and 2005 there were only five international adoptions that took place in Uzbekistan. Although I should feel like a pioneer, I sometimes feel that it's getting crowded. I discussed it in this post.
However, it just feels that more and more families are 'waking up' to how unique the Uzbek program is. For example, it's only a one-visit, short-stay country and the adoption takes place before you arrive to Tashkent. So it's final. There's no 'wait a minute... we made a mistake. You will not be her mother.'
And now there are lots of families already ahead of me with their dossier in Uzbekistan. It reminds me of when I was living in Tokyo, Japan and getting my ribs cracked on the overly crowded morning subway commute. I can only imagine how the process in the two most popular adoption counties, China and Guatemala, feel like.
This is how Uzbekistan process feels to me.
