I'm glad you stopped by! This blog chronicles my experiences living in and adopting from Russia. It was a six-year journey that doubled the size of my family. I adopted my daughter, then age 6, from Moskovskaya Oblast. Now we're back in the USA and no longer posting from Russia.

does that mean she comes home in 5 days? It is about time! Hip hip hooray!!!!
She has skin just like Genea. Super pale ivory and porcelin (sp?). Gorgeous!
How sad her orphanage has not had an adoption in 5 months! I know there are tons of reasons for that, but still. Rotten too that they won't let you take pics, I have a few from Ukraine but none of her group or room. But I have ONE baby picture from 6 weeks old and I am supremely grateful for it. It is the cutest that Genea's toes at 6 weeks are the same distinctive appearance as now at 6 years lol! Not that they are wierd or anything, just definately hers!
You are so funny.... did you take those pictures for us on purpose. Bet you did.
:)
Так. Сегодня рыбный день. Зто хороший день. Теперь ещё 5 дней!
You're getting close now! Honestly, I don't know how you can focus on work. When we were between court and pickup, I was pretty useless.
Love the teaser photos!
Well, Happy Fish Day! Less than a week. You can do it!
I am dying to see more than a sneak! She does look like a little snow white. The anticipation is killing me! I am beyond excited for you both!
Does the weekend count in the 10 days? Is Tuesday the big day? I have to scroll down to your itinerary. Just four more days to forever!!!!!!!!
You're SO creative with these sneaks! Love it!
