Older Kids Rock

I adopted my daughter from Russia in 2004, when she was 13 years old. It was an ordeal. I actually wrote a book about it.

She is an awesome teen now, though, and I feel very blessed. I am dismayed by the situation in Russia right now, and how hard they are making it on parents.

I just returned from Kaz with my adorable 10 year old son. He is a joy. His orphanage was MUCH better run, cleaner, the kids more healthy, the caretakers more caring. I didn't like the trips [4 weeks, home, then 10 days] but it was worth it to get my son home.

My journey to my son also involves a book, which is a children's book I wrote to help him cope. PM me for more details. My blog site is below.

Good luck!
Dee
