Despite hurdles, families pursue Nepal adoptions (AP)

In this Jan. 18, 2011 photo, Celia Bergman plays with her adoptive Nepali daughter, Karina, during a visit to the Boudhanath Buddhist stupa in Katmandu, Nepal. Since the U.S. government suspended adoptions of abandoned children from Nepal due to concerns about unreliable and fabricated documents, about 80 U.S. families were put on hold and subjected to lengthy re-investigations requiring the families to provide solid evidence that the children were indeed legitimate orphans. Many of the families have formed close bonds, sharing skepticism over the U.S. government's decisions and unwavering commitment to seeing their planned adoptions through to completion.

"We'll be back in September," Vicki wrote Aug. 4 in a new blog named after their daughter-to-be.
