Any Iowan's on this board? :-)

HI!
We are from Iowa (Cedar Rapids)
We adopted domestically 2 1/2 years ago- an infant girl.
Just starting on the road to international adoption, from Russia.
Curious if there are any other Iowan's who have recently (or ever) adopted from Russia. Would love to hear your stories.
Thanks,
Melissa

We live just west of Marshalltown. My husband and I adopted from Russia 5 1/2 years ago. We have made many friends along the way.
