The longer we stay here the more contact we have with people who have also been to Artemovsk and adopted. Through all of those communications, we learn more about the city like eating places, etc. So, Stephen's new "mission" is to diagram the city in the orphanage area and mark and photo important locations... hotels, restaurants with English menus, the Internet cafe, post office, etc. If you've been here before and are aware of a place future travelers to Artemovsk should know about, please send Stephen an email at techbookwriter@yahoo.com. Include a description and approximate location. Stephen will photograph and map it. Also, let Stephen know if you want to receive the map and photos. Hopefully, people who use it in the future will update it and pass it on to others.
Katrina sends her love!!
Wow - she looks so happy. I am sure she is just soaking in all your love and attention. Wait until she gets to meet her new brothers and sister - she will just be extatic:) She looks and sounds like a real joy!!! Have fun.
ReplyDeleteHi, Pam and Stephen-
ReplyDeleteWe inquired about a little girl listed on the Reese's Rainbow website ("Deena" http://www.reecesrainbow.com/angelgirls.htm) and found out that you were currently at Deena's orphanage adopting your daughter. The director of RR suggested that we contact you. We were wondering if you have seen or had any interaction with "Deena". We are familiar with your first adoption and followed your blog (we returned from Ukraine last year after adopting 12 year old Kristina from Odessa). Was also wondering if you have any experience with special needs children. Thank you for an information you can provide!
Leslie
