Crazy Cat they are so cute!!! (More boys with blonde hair, I'm in love.) 2 at one time and boys, you are a brave person. Since you just got home on Wednesday if you have time you should write about your experience. (# of trips, how long, how court was, any things you saw or heard while there that might be of interest to the waiters) My adoption was a couple of years back and I'm sure everyone wants to hear the latest and greatest experience. I know you are probably crazy busy, but if you have time I would also enjoy reading about your experience.

Tigger44,
Thanks for the kind words about Ivan. I must admit I am pretty smitten with our little man, cheeks and all!

Just wanted to tell you guys I removed my pictures I posted after reading another posting on another group where someone was using pictures they posted and saying these children where theirs. Kind of crazy, but in the past we have had a few crazy people on these boards. This is sad because I love sharing Stella's pictures with everyone who wants to see them, I'm a very proud mommy. Plus I know it is nice to see what the children look like as they grow up, I remember loving the few pictures I saw and dreaming of what my little one would look like.
Hoping4#1 your daughter is beautiful, the picture of her in the blue outfit looks so much like my Stella, she has that same hair cut. We have been growing it out longer now, but we spent the first 2 years keeping it pretty short, trying to thicken it up some. She had such a bad bald area on the back of her head from laying on her back in the crib so much while in the baby house. So we had to keep cutting it short as this hair grew out and thickened up. I'm not faulting Kaz because babies in the USA get this same thing. Her head shape was fine, just the hair was worn down.
Oh I just noticed Alayna's birthday is May 11th. Happy Birthday to her!!!
