Being that I was/am a single person adopting and an older child... it was real obvious when I showed up with an eight year old. Basically, family members (nieces/nephew/god children, etc.) where told that Aunt Alli has a daughter from Russia. This is your cousin..... can you help her learn english, and learn new games??? Well, they just all went to town. The only problems where when they (of course) couldn't understand DD, and I would interpert... they learned cheraides real quick!!! I wouldn't worry tooo much about it. Kids figure things out, and they (unlike alot of adults), do NOT over analysis things... they just want to play!!!!
