First trip
We are here in Moscow as I type this. We got in on Sunday morning. Yesterday we didn't have any appointments or anything, so we decided to take a walk in the 15 degree weather. BRRRRRRRRRR! But we did get to see the Kremlin, Red Square, and St. Basil's Cathedral. It was incredible!
Today we went to the orphanage and met our referral. He's such a cutie pie! And he has the fattest little cheeks I think I've ever seen! His birthmother is from Kyrgyzstan, so he has dark, dark, dark brown eyes and brown hair. He appears to be very healthy, although the orphanage doctor wasn't available today, so we don't get to talk to him until tomorrow. We do get to see the baby twice tomorrow for two hours each (!!!) so that's exciting. Anyhow, I'll probably post some pictures when I get back home. Dawn

Awesome - have a great time! (don't post pics until the adoption is finalized...safer that way)

Wonderful news! Have a great trip!
And to echo Kretz, no pixs posted until the adoption is final. He's not yours until after court and you can cause problems in your process and for your agency if you post pictures publicly of a child before then. Good luck!

Yes, no pictures of the baby. But pictures from the trip should be okay.
