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.

Merry Christmas to you. Lovely middle name, precious child. I was thinking of you a lot during Mass last night.... Was struck with how amazingly that little girl has changed since those first photos. You are such a blessing to her - and she to you, I am confident.

Hello Kate and Lexi, I´m from Spain, I´m waiting for a little girl about six- seven years old form Russian. I usually read your blog,it´s very interesting. Can you tell me your experience? Merry Christmas, you are a beautiful princess¡¡¡

I was looking closely at your card today and realized that Lexi and Sara have the same exact birthday, date and year. Wow!!! As you probably already know, Sara is also adopted from Russia. I just thought that was so cool.
Wishing you both a wonderful 2010.
