Blog Day Three
There is nothing new or eventful to report today. Annabelle was dressed in a cute little navy blue dress with white lace collar and the word Cherry scripted across the collar with white tights. The visits are tough because we cannot do much besides hold Annabelle as there is no where to go or to play. We are confined to a small area that has a sofa and that is our play area. We have no floor space and the only toys are those that we bring with us. All this is OK with us as long as we get our 60-90 minutes with Annabelle.
We also got to the notary today to sign paperwork officially requesting to adopt Annabelle. For the future adoptive parents this is a little hidden cost of doing business. The fees for all the documents to be notarized and copied came to 4840 Rubels or about $205. This made for a long day as we did not get back until after 5:00PM.
The weather here has been pretty good. Temperatures today were in the mid 40s and mostly dry but a little rain fell in the afternoon evening time. All week it has been between 35- and 45.

that is exactly all we had when we were in Rostov for Livi. But, nothing you can do. I dont even think we had that much space and we had to keep close eyes on her or else she would touch the teapot or electric socket.
Hugs.
Maria and Jeff,
I am so glad for you that you found Annabelle!!! She sounds like an absolutely wonderful addition to your family!! We cant wait to see pictures! Luv, Trish and Lillie Marshall
Wow! I just went to your blog today hoping that you were still using the same one and saw the news. Congratulations! A girl! :) I'll be anxiously following the rest of your journey.
These pictures bring so many memories back. My daughter was in that baby home in 2004. She too was small, a preemie. We used to sit in the room through the white doors in your picture. It was a tiny room but had a couch. The babies bedroom and kitchen was off this room.
I'm so happy for you all and Annabelle. I'm sure she is just perfect and just needs some TLC. How exciting! girls are so fun.
hugs,
Laura
Last year, when we were still in the research phase of our adoption, I read some of your blog, and enjoyed hearing about Tyler. Now we are going back to Moscow in 2 weeks for our court date, and we'll be bringing our son home in April.
Congratulations on your 2nd adoption. Your daughter sounds wonderful!
Hope the rest of your process goes very smoothly. God bless.
I'm so excited to see you are in the process for #2! Annabelle sounds precious! I can't wait to follow along.
Hope Tyler is doing well too!! :o)
