My Best Xmas Present, ever.

[Granbonny]

My daughter and her husband are leaving Xmas Day for Russia..to meet their little boy and girl...He is age 3 and she is 17 months old..Both blonde and huge blue eyes... They are brother and sister...They will have to return at a later date ..for courtdate in the region and in Moscow. Hopefully, no more than a few weeks after they return from trip #1...They have been waiting for 6 months..since their paperwork arrived in Russia...And this is the best. What a great Xmas my family will have. Bonnie

Update

Update

Well, their bags were packed..hugs and kisses..and they were off to the Atlanta Airport this morning for a flight to New York..and connecting flight to Moscow..Arrived at the Atlanta Airport to find out. ALL flights to New York cancelled Due, to all of Delta's airplanes were stuck somewhere. due to snowstorms, ect... But, the good news, they only live 1 hour from airport, returned home. left bags in car..and are booked on a flight to New York, tomorrow..Hopefully will make the connecting flight to Moscow tomorrow night. One good thing, they are both off from work until Jan. 3rd..so will still have plenty of time to go, visit the children and return home... They are leaving early, know, the Xmas rush, plus, the many travelers, left stranded at the Atlanta airport.... Her adoption agency notified the person who was to meet them in Russia..so things, should still go well... They will still have an 11 hour train trip to Voronizh, Russia...The lady in Russia, who will meet them, speaks English, will be with them the entire time.. ...........John (hubby was just watching the news and said, it was really bad. the airline's computers have crashed, many lost luggage, ect... thank goodnes, my daughter never checked their lugage today....So..the snow storm really hurt a lot of Xmas travelers. Sad..Bonnie

Hi Bon

What GREAT and Exciting news for you all. I'm so glad they're finally getting them. I know how long you've been in the "holding mode." Hopefully they'll get out of NY tomorrow---who knows, maybe today. Apparently there are LOADS of people stuck in the airport.....and they're not too happy about it!!

Anyway, what a thrill for you all. I'm so happy for you.

Hi there Bonny! And there are still people who say that adopting isn't the same as having your own child and all that stuff! I was brought up by this wonderful man who cared more for me than my biological father would have, and I'm sure that if they're willing to go through all this to become these babies' parents is because they want then really badly and will give them all the love they need. I'll be looking forward to hearing that everything went well and that the new family has a safe and very happy landing back in America. Take care and keep us posted.

Yea

They are on their way to Russia. But a very hectic day..Didn't leave Atlanta until 3 p.m.....For the 5:35 flight to Moscow. I was tracking it on Delta.com..Knew when they arrived...and they only had 10 minutes to run to the gate where the flight to Moscow was parked. Knew, when the phone rang at 5:35 P.M. she would have good news. she was coughing from running so fast..but was in line for boarding. I continued to track the flight and it didn't leave until 6:05....Which tells me, their luggage made it too. Hubby is a former Delta pilot and told me..not too worry...For a one day flight like that, they would wait for connecting passengers.... They are on a Boing 767-300..Hubby says it hold 400 people... They will have dinner, movie and arrive in Russia...at 10:50 a.m. (Russian time) ..2:50 a.m. our time..... Thanks to all who have posted... ..I cannot post pictures until the final trip and they (children) are here in America...Russian rules..but, I have seen their picture and they are so cute...Thanks again, Bonnie

Glad that they're safely on their way, Bonnie. Have dreams of those little sugarplums tonight!

Best wishes,

Keep posting about your daughter's trip to Russia. I keep checking the message board to see what is happening.

 

[hensylee]

May I suggest? LabGuides had a wonderful idea. And like Christian's baby, why not give us an update every time you get one. Then, when the babies are finally here, you can print out all the posts/responses, put it in their baby books as part of their history. It will give us a chance to share your joy and the babies, when they become adults, will enjoy it as well.

This is so exciting.

 

[Mary]

Great idea!

 

[gijanet]

How exciting!

How exciting!

and with no labor pains to boot! Bonnie, congratulations! We will all be eagerly awaiting those updates and pics. Coincidentally, our local paper just had a huge write-up on a couple here who adopted four boys from Russia (ages 7 thru 15). While it was a wonderful article, I can't wait to read your newsflash! Keep us posted. Hugs.

Thanks to all for your wishes..Adriane did call me at 3 a.m...They were getting ready to board the trip back to New York. They saw their children yesterday. Said, they were so cute. Doctor who spoke very good English told them to expect both of them to be behind in motor skills, ect. due to being in the Orphanage for 7 months......I know they are so tired. Left Sunday morning, plane ride, 11 hour train ride, an 11 hour train ride back to Moscow and a long flight back to Atlanta tonight..But, I'm sure it was worth it..Now for the courtdate, to return for them....Hope it will not be too long a a wait...Bonnie
