English-Russian-English

Friends of ours are coming over tonight for supper before they leave TOMORROW to go get their son! Ironically, they found this little guy online and committed to his adoption without realizing that he is a child that I have MET and resides at the same orphanage that Emma and Micah lived in! In fact, he was our second 'intended' child with Emma, but his paperwork wasn't ready so we got a blind referral instead. When I received their application to begin working with them through their adoption process we realized that not only are they very close by, but I have known their two sons for several years since they participated in the children's ministry when I was doing that. So, God is bringing their little one home to our town after all!

I wrote this letter for them to bring to the director of the orphanage, and included some photos... I put the letter through google-translate to change it to Russian, then did the Russian back to English to see if there's anything that really translated WRONG... It's kind of funny to read the 2nd English translation, but I think most of the ideas got across and that is the idea! :)

Hello!

We have been home with Emma (Daria) and Micah (Daniil) for almost 18 months now and they are growing and changing all the time!

Emma is now pulling herself up to standing and just learned to walk along furniture when she holds on. She’s going to start Kindergarten in just a few days and has a great teacher. Emma is happy, loves to be held, gives great hugs and especially loves to play in the bath tub or the swimming pool. She has a new bed that her grandfather adapted to keep her safe at night. Emma is 6 ½ now and weighs 31.5 pounds (14.3 kg) and is 37.5 inches tall (95 cm). Emma is starting to communicate more and is trying to use some sign language. She likes to play with her brothers and sister. Emma has three therapies each week to work on language, muscle growth, and using her hands (fine motor). She is learning to eat with a fork, how to walk along things, and how to use sign language.

Micah is going to be three years old in September and he weighs 26 pounds (11.8 kg) and is 34 inches tall (86 cm). Micah is walking! He is also using sign language and is such a happy boy, always smiling. He will start a preschool class in a few days and will be in the same class with his sister, Brianna. Micah has three therapies each week as well. He is learning to stack blocks and sort things, how to speak and use sign language, how to eat using a spoon and drink with a straw, and how to climb and get better balance. Micah loves water as well and has no fear in the pool!

Our other two children, Kristopher and Brianna, are doing great as well. They love their siblings! Kristopher will also be in Kindergarten and Brianna in preschool, and all 4 kids will be at the same school.

Our family is also about to grow by one- we are expecting another baby that is due the day before Micah’s 3^rd birthday. 09 September, 2009. We will send word to Melissa and Mark if they are still in K when the baby is born. This baby is believed to be a healthy baby girl. We are so blessed to have each of our children!

We are glad to have friends that have traveled and to see so many of the children that I met while adopting our children come home! Darina (Mary), Dennis, Alosha (Aleksey), and now "S"! We hope that the family for "E" will be traveling very soon, and may have found a family for the four "K" children as well! We are excited to see all the children that have been raised at (the baby house) find families.

Thank you so much for the love and care you give to the children at (the baby house). So many families have been blessed by this facility as they have brought their children home! We still stay in touch with the K family and the F family and have seen the F once since coming home.

Maybe one day we will be back to visit! I hope to travel again to Ukraine- but maybe this time in the Spring or fall and not the coldest part of winter!

May the staff and children of Antoshka be blessed abundantly by God!
