Adoption from Krasnodar, Sochi-area???
I just found out that Russia won the bid for the 2014 winter olympics in Sochi.

Immediately I started daydreaming about my daughter and I planning a trip! My daughter is from Krasnodar-adopted at 16 months in 2005. She will be 10 years old in 2014.

Do you all think that would be too young for a return trip???

Anyone else have kids adopted from these areas? Thinking the same as me???

We adopted from Stavropol which isn't too far away, and yes, we were thinking the same thing!! I am so happy that the olympics will be there and we would love to go back!
We actually are planning a visit trip in 2009 so by 2014 we will probably be ready to visit again!

Thinking the same thing. We actually bought some Sochi/Olympic stuff when we were there on trip one for our little guy. He will be 10 as well at that time and we would love to take him back then!!
