I just have to post an update, since this is a public blog now. I know that it is fun to see how babies grow, learn, attach, etc. when researching adoption.
I can honestly, with my entire heart, tell you that Zahria is my daughter. She is my complete heart. She is attaching tremendously. She is brilliant, not just because I am her mom and a tad biased, but because it is the truth. I have been teaching her sign language, as a way for her to better express her desires, and she is catching on like wildfire. So far, Z knows: more, all gone, eat, hat, swing, bubbles, cat, dog, monkey, car, turtle, bird, ++++ She is just amazing!!! Zahri is now walking, mind you she couldn't crawl when I met her a mere 6 months ago. She is eating like a champ, nearly sleeping through the night (minus a couple bad dreams here and there), says 'momma and puppy', off the bottle and on to whole milk (lactose free), she loves music, is a freak about water / loves it, loves her puppies and kitty, ++++ I can't say enough amazing things about my daughter.
The following photos were taken by Nancy at Jane Bailey Photography. If you are from the Twin Cities / St. Cloud, MN area, Nancy does phenominal work!!!!! Check her out at www.janebailey.com

Christy,
I just checked your site now and saw your update. Zahria is beautiful! I'm looking for or to start a single moms group in the Twin Cities area - I have a son who is almost 3 (home 8 months from Russia). If you know of other single women who might be interested or you are let me know.

Hi Christy -
I was struck by the resemblance between Zahria and our daughter, Zoe. Zoe doesn't look like most of the other Kaz kids we see and it's fun to see a similar look.

Wow! Those are beautiful pictures of your beautiful daughter!
bonjour ,
je me permets d'écrire sur ce site ou ce blog .
je me présente : Françoise Boulnois ( francoise.boulnois@tele2.fr ) vivant en France et ayant adopté une petite fille à Pavlodar en mars 2008 .
Ma fille Léopoldine avait 2 ans et quatre mois quand je l'ai connu .
j'ai découvert par hasard sur un blog de canadiens : Julie et Stephan ayant adopté Angélika Allard une photo de ma fille de profil .
Je cherche à les joindre , peut-être auraient ils d'autres de photos de ma fille prises notamment le 02 septembre 2007 lors d'un spectacle donné à l'orphelinat .
ce serait une joie immense de pouvoir y parvenir .
merci d'avance .
Françoise , maman de Léopoldine, Anastasia
Hello,
Alow me to write you.
My name is Françoise Boulnois ( francoise.boulnois@tele2.fr ) ; I live in France and since march 2008 I’m the adoptive mother of a little girl from Pavlodar’s baby house.
My daughter, Léopoldine (Anastasia), was aged of 28 months when I met her.
By chance, I discovered on the web blog of Julie & Stephan (Angelika’s adoptive parents) a photograph of my daughter.
I’m trying to contact them, perharps could they have others photographs of my daughter at the orphelina’s show the 2th of september (2007).
It will be a huge joy for me to have a contact with them.
Thanks a lot.
Françoise, Léopoldine’s mother (Anastasia).
