Hello!!! I`m from Russia!

Нello!
My name is Irina. I live in St.-Petersburg, I work in the publishing house.
For a long time I read your forum because the theme adopt is interesting to me - I the volunteer of welfare fund. I am engaged with children in children's home.

One week ago and I had a daughter and I have decided to share with you the pleasure (I read all themes very much for a long time and "is in absentia already familiar" with all of you).

It is Nataly, to it 6 years. We are familiar already half a year and the next year already will go to school.

Thanks! Excuse for my English and for that.
That can not it is necessary was write here.
