This was our
initial trip to the orphanage in Komsomolsk, Russia. We left on a May Wednesday,
flew approximately two days, rested a day, took the train from Khabarovsk
to Komsomolsk,
spent two days at the orphanage, (Whew!) reversed, and arrived home the following
Wednesday.
On this trip, the purpose was to spend time with Anastasia and to sign the
necessary papers
to declare Anastasia as the child we wish to adopt.

Additionally, our pets want to thank those kind hearts that went out of their
way to tend to them.
