Day 3

Hi,, Got to visit my little guy this morning.  It was drizzling out so we visited inside.  He seems happy to see me I get smiles and no tears.  He plays with the stacking cups, likes the photo album of me Mattie and the family which I am going to leave him.  Today he had fun taking everything in and out of my bag.  He giggles and babbled some words today.  

    The hardest part of visiting the baby home s when all the little kids look at me and some say MAMA I told Sylanta they are so sweet and I wish I could take them all home!!!!!!  She said all are not available for adoption some parents are still involved and some parents are in jail and having their kids in the baby home may be there ticket out . How sad.  Lucky for me Gennadly's parents did not sign his birth cert. so no one will be coming back so it will make court easier for me.

     Today I had my first real russian meal.  Sylanta took me out to lunch.  I had salad, cabbage soup and some kind of chicken/rice dish not so bad and herbal tea.  ANd yes a diet coke can not have a meal with out my favorite.  Sylanta has been great and works very hard for us and the children so as soon as I get home I will work on my paper work so I can get back here quickly to bring home Mattie's brother.

     I talked to Mattie on the phone today.  He seems to be doing great I told him 2 more sleeps and mom will be home.  I found him cookies and cars so he will be happy because that is what he told me he wanted from Russia.

     Thanks everyone for all your messages and emails I love to read them!!!!!!!  OK I will post a new picture then to sleep for me it is 11pm here.
