What wonderful new!! I am so happy for you. I remember your story so well and how unfair it all was. I know you have been an inspiration to everyone on this board as you continued to post and support those of us going thru the process and bringing our kids home while you were still waiting. As they say, good things come to those who wait!! This is the best news I have heard in a while. Congrats and I can't wait to see pictures of your two little ones.

thanks for your KIND KIND words everyone! wow!!
the next couple of days will be crazy making all our travel arrangements. looks like we have decided to make a third trip - coming home during the 10 day waiting period. russia is SO costly during the summer. when we go back to collect the girls, we'll take our 13 yr old son with us. our older kids have been to russia, but he has not. we really wanted all three of them to see the country their siblings were born in, and to experience the culture first hand. time for sleep - at least i hope i can sleep! thank you again for your warm and loving encouragement.
