We adopted our son, Zach, from Russia last year.  He had just turned 2 when

we were allowed to finally bring him home.  Our agency in Minnesota has a large support network, but we are too far away, obviously, to participate with the other parents and kids.  We are looking for local parents who have adopted older children from Russia and can offer some advice and support as needed.  He is adjusting well, but we would love to be able to talk to others who have been through what we have.  So, if you are an adoptive family from Russia who has children under 5 years old, please send us a note and lets get together by email and see what we have to offer one another.
