Day Two in Moscow


The trip to the baby home in Podolsk was a little slow this morning has there were light rain/snow showers in the area. The ride is about one hour with normal Moscow traffic.

The visit was nice and nondescript as we played for 90 minutes in the 8’x9’ hallway area as staff were coming and going all around us. Annabelle laughed and played and was a little angel today. Towards the end she was getting tired and was ready for her afternoon nap.

We received the doctor’s report today and he mentioned that she was premature at birth, delay and a few issues that we should address in the United States but nothing we felt we can not handle. The social worker also stopped by and again told us about her premature birth and talked about how small she is. We feel confident that we can handle this and with nutrition, vitamins, three squares a day, and lots of love she will flourish. Tomorrow we visit and go to the notary to complete all the . So far so good.

More to follow tomorrow.

Hi Aunt Maria and Uncle Jeff,

We love the new pictures of Annabelle. We love her name, she has a lot of letters to learn. We think that Tyler will like having a baby sister...and he will be a good big brother.

Love,
Hailey and Lisa

Congratulations to all 3 of you. My daughter was also from Podolsk. I believe there is only 1 baby home in that region. I am so excited.
