I bet things will be fine. I have 3 beautiful, bright and happy adult children as old as 32 now. Not one of them shows any signs of trouble and their Father had at times been diagnosed with mental illness here in the states, ranging from major depression to schizophrenia. He has now passed away. I believe his illness was in large part due to his up-bringing and abuse of alcohol (I have prayed my children would never have troubles in this area.) I'm sure that in many cases that holds true in Russia too. The posts here were great and reflect my thoughts as well. My DH and I are very concerned with the FA and other issues as well, as we are currently reviewing referrals. I tend to only go with my head and not my heart! He leans toward only the heart! I wish I was a little more that way to tell the truth. If that little girl has a hold of your heart, I'd go forward with it and pray hard. Best of luck. We are

for all of you! -Karen
