new pictures

Well, we've been home for three weeks today. We still have challenges, but things are getting better every day. We definitely never have a dull moment in our house right now

Karen, you are joking, right?

Quieter? Didn't you hear Ben and Daniel in the bath last night from where you are???!!!! There seem to be several words that will not be used in our house for a long time to come. These include, quiet, clean, tidy, come to mind. Right now, my goal is to be able to find a toilet in our house (and we have 4 to choose from!!) that has a clean seat and a flushed bowl. Start with the little things.......

Smile

Your kids have great smiles and look so happy. We are waiting for our date to travel. They said some time after May. The waiting is killing us. This is our 1st adoption and it has been a rough one we started 18mo. ago. Thank you for sharing your photos and stories on this site..

We were in process for 20 months, it's a long haul, but definitely worth it in the end

Hi Jane,
Thanks for posting the pictures- Daniel and Maggie look to be settling in!

We leave on Saturday for our appointment- I'll keep you posted as the trip progresses. I can only hope to be as blessed as you with healthy beautiful kids (1 or 2- either way, we'll be happy!!)

so nice to see you all at home. I am currently waiting for my appointment. My agency estimates end of May early June. I hope the recent changes don't hinder the process any further.

Thanks so much for sharing your journey!

This is my first post but had to comment on what beautiful kiddos you have.

And I'm sure you never have a dull moment

I do not think there are pictures attached to this email. Perhaps the poster removed them from the original post.

I think I did remove them as there was a message on the Russia board about the children's pictures turning up on other websites. Since they had been on here a while, I may have decided to take them off. I'll look for some new ones!!!
