Come on--show off
You Kaz cutie.

I am a regular participant on the Russian boards since I started off there. I love the picture parades we do over there. It also makes the wait so much easier for those who are waiting to see the beautiful children that do come home.

So come on, lets see your Kaz cuties.

I'll start.

This is Sadie, 19 months old, home 10 1/2 months

ALL adorable kids! Lovestruck- I think that I recognize you from the FRUA boards. :-)

Our Emi has been home since 2005 and is just over 3 years old. Her "little sissy" Miya in the picture is 14 months old. This was taken last week while we were in Disneyworld, thus the princess attire.

Our Daughter
She has been with us for 6 months now! It's hard to believe! First picture is her now at 15 months, in the second picture she is 12 months. She came home at 10 months and has grown 3 inches and gained 6 pounds!

Born in Karaganda, Kazakhstan, 2.01.07
