http://our-adoption-journey.blogspot.com/2007/05/531-adjusting-to-american-life.html
Rob and Kathleen's Adoption Journey. Thursday, May 31, 2007. 5/31 - Adjusting to American Life. It's hard to believe that Christina has only been with us for 2 1/2 weeks. It just feels like she's always been with us. You may notice that I've gone back and added some pics to the blog. Now that she's officially ours, we are free to share pics with you now. Once she sold the first one, that was it. She made business cards and everything. Her title on her cards is "Business Woman". Too funny! 5/7 - Goodbyes ...

Rob and Kathleen's Adoption Journey: 11/15 - Recap from Halloween
http://our-adoption-journey.blogspot.com/2007/11/1115-recap-from-halloween.html
Rob and Kathleen's Adoption Journey. Wednesday, November 14, 2007. 11/15 - Recap from Halloween. I wrote this in early October and forgot to post it. I’d forget my head…well, you know the rest. I’ve come to the realization that I have to get over trying to have the perfect family with only Norman Rockwell moments. Seeing the giant orange raisins that used to be our beautifully carved pumpkins brought me back to reality! Well, how do you jazz up a Barbie costume, you ask? You have “Vampire Barbie!

Rob and Kathleen's Adoption Journey: 6/11 - First Sleepover at Our House
http://our-adoption-journey.blogspot.com/2007/06/611-our-first-sleepover.html
Rob and Kathleen's Adoption Journey. Monday, June 11, 2007. 6/11 - First Sleepover at Our House. The best part is that she earned the money herself and is seeing how hard work can pay off. The girls were really well behaved so our first sleepover was a pleasant experience. They stayed up late, of course, and giggled and talked but finally went to sleep around 1 or so.

http://our-adoption-journey.blogspot.com/2007/05/57-goodbyes-are-so-hard.html
Rob and Kathleen's Adoption Journey. Tuesday, May 08, 2007. 5/7 - Goodbyes Are So Hard! Christina and I hung out at the flat most of the day. Daiga. Have taken care of everything for us. I don't expect any problems in Warsaw. Was ready. WHEW! We were all emotionally spent after that visit. I well up just thinking about it. Christina was understandably upset on the ride back to the flat and of course, that made me cry again. Then I realized I forgot to ask the director for Christina's school documents...

Rob and Kathleen's Adoption Journey. Tuesday, May 08, 2007. 5/8 - Saying Goodbye to Olegs. Soon after Daiga arrived, the doorbell rang and it was a soaking wet Olegs with a huge grin on his face. It had started raining again. I'm glad I was at the flat because he arrived at 3:00 but was supposed to arrive at 5:00. He got there 2 hours early! I said, "because I miss Olegs" and then it made her tear up too. She said, "You cry and it make me cry." Then we laughed that I looked like an alcoholic with...As yo...

http://our-adoption-journey.blogspot.com/2007/10/1018-report-card-day.html
Rob and Kathleen's Adoption Journey. Thursday, October 18, 2007. 10/18 - Report Card Day. Today is report card day at Christina's school and our daughter brought home her very first report card containing all A's and one B! Christina had her first science projects in school and she had to make a cell and a DNA strand. I got her the materials and told her to have at it. She made the cell out of play-doh, gummy worms, jelly beans and a golf ball. I was quite impressed with the results I must say. Let's see...

Rob and Kathleen's Adoption Journey. Thursday, April 12, 2007. 4/12 - Latvian Girl on a Sugar High! Well, we called Christina today and she was in rare form.joking, making obnoxious noises into the phone, etc. She was definitely bouncing off the walls! She just laughed and made more obnoxious noises. We told her that we can tell she must have been eating candy. She was smacking away on something so that was the dead giveaway. She just giggled.
