MAY 2000 ( 2nd part)
|
While she was waiting for some news about my 'referral' Mommy decided to learn
some Russian... Mommy is fearless !!! She asked Natacha, the lady who had translated her whole dossier for the Russian
authorities, to give her some lessons... OK, after two years, Mommy still doesn't speak much Russian (or just a
little bit) but she got herself a new friend...

This is the first photo of me that Mommy got... |

She received it on March 13th 2000 and the picture had been made in February, I was a little bit more than 4 months old. I thought it was for a demonstration to ask for more kacha (a kind of porridge which is so good you never can get enough...) that's why I raised my right fist like a fearless Siberian revolutionnaire.... Of course, if I had known it was for Mommy I would have tried to look more pacific !!!
When she saw my photo She was not wrong because she was supposed to leave for Russia in April and her travel date was cancelled at the last moment (she was really disappointed, Mommy was...) fortunately she had met, via the internet, many people who were in the same boat, so they would all cheer each other up when one of them was losing hope. And of course there is her friend Marlena (and her Wondertwins) who was always there for her... |

However it was no fun and the laws were constantly changing in Russia and Mommy didn't know if she would be able to adopt me... In the meanwhile, at the orphanage, everybody was taking good care of me and, anyway, I didn't know what the word "Mommy" meant, so I didn't worry... |

The first picture
, Mommy immediately
thought I was very cute (did I tell you that Mommy has a very good
taste???) but she was afraid that there would again be lots of problems and that we might
never be able to meet...
