Might be comforting for her to have some familiar sights to look at as she transitions. My friend Tina & her hustband Art did that with some artwork on the walls in their daughter's baby house in Kyrgyzstan. I thought it was a brilliant idea. I'll do the same at the Bishkek baby house when I go there (!)<BR/><BR/>-Suzanne BSuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11478735975132848231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382228810964044775.post-59378845533895440172008-01-21T17:02:00.000-06:002008-01-21T17:02:00.000-06:00I just read your comment on my blog, I think it's ...I just read your comment on my blog, I think it's party time in Florida this summer with our Kazarina's.

CONGRATULATIONS on court. That is a frightening hurdle to get over. <BR/><BR/>I fully understand when you say you've been drawn to adoption. Me too. It's kinda odd, but, since I was a teenager I've been drawn to adopt. Maybe it's because my mother is adopted or maybe it's just met to be. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing all the cultural stuff and local pictures. We can hardly wait until we travel.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15785263902206237691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382228810964044775.post-90905549250165124142008-01-20T12:11:00.000-06:002008-01-20T12:11:00.000-06:00You're on the home stretch now!
