Parting shots and thoughts






Dias has so much determination. He could not climb the MOUNTAIN at the playground. He looked and pondered and looked some more. Inessa helped him from the sidelines yelling directions. He plotted slowly and with method. He made it! He was so proud and we cheered like he made the a goal at the World Cups! Then they asked us to move on and not take photographs. No photographs please, in a children's place????? Funny. New Years tree photos. ( I know, it is weird) Gifts for our dear friend Inessa, who finally smiled in a picture. She is so Russian. Mike is having with drawls from Merey's family. He fell in love with them.
We are leaving some children behind in good care doubt-including our own-but to know they have a chance to join their families makes my heart soar! No words can ever express our gratitude to JOURNEY HOME ADOPTIONS, SUSAN COTTEN, COLENE BELLI, REGINA SHELLNUT, OLGA, TATYANA, GULNARA and THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN for our son. We will NEVER forget any of you or the children at the baby house.
Stealing words from another mother, but perfect....our hearts are now on both sides of the globe.
But it feels good to be able to feel this way.
