We Are a Complete Family!!

Three children, two from my womb, one from Kazakhstan, ALL FROM GOD.

Following are some photos of the last visit to the

Baby House in Rudniy (plus the Court House):

Sofia and her interesting outfit before we changed her into her 'homecoming' clothes. The nurse placed this 'hat' on her head because she was going outside somewhere to receive polio drops; in this country you NEVER see a baby outside without some type of head cover, day or night, sunshine or not.

The Courthouse in Rudniy, a place which produced much anxiety!

The bedroom where Sofia and 15 others slept

The Babies' playroom adjacent to their sleeping area

Another photo of Babies' playroom

Adoptive Parents' Playroom in which we visited Sofia for 18 days. This is also some type of medical examining room in which children are brought in for nasal treatment, etc. The benches on the right side of the wall are the examining and treating tables.

The Visitor's Playroom has two of these fish tanks and the kids loved them.

Grandma Helen hugging Karina (her granddaughter), Sofia and Victor (Lori and Reid's Baby) for the last time until she and Sandy return in a couple of weeks to pick up Karina.

In the van on the way back to the hotel - Sofia was very quiet and fell asleep soon after.

Our family is finally complete!!!
