Orphanages in Russia

[Stephanie Briggs]

A little off-topic, but I wanted to share some good news: a friend of mine
has just brought her newly-adopted daughter home to the US from an
orphanage in Krasnoyarsk. There was a lot of paperwork and many trips back
and forth, but little Natasha looks so excited and happy! Marlo, her mom,
asked me to help translate a video showing when Natasha was in the
orphanage and opening a box of presents from her new family. Communication
is slowly becoming easier, as each is learning the other's language. :)
