Photos, Photos, Photos
Due to techincal difficulties we are unable to publish photos of Oleg on our Blog. Blame Blogger. They are the ones causing me greif.
I will say that we are really really offically the parents of Oleg!!! We signed the official Adoption decree this morning. It was quite a nice little time. A lady said some official words like, "he now has a family and you now have a child. We wish you the best as a new family." I wish I had my camera. I didn't know.
So we did a work around on the photo thing. I started a yahoo group where I posted photos. For now it is open to anyone to register. Once we get home and blogger stops being stupid I am going to take it down. The address is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/babaganush/
I do hope that works. You will have to register for the group. There should be prompts on how to do it. If there aren't I apologize. I figure those of you in the adoption community you are very familiar with yahoo groups. For the rest I am sorry. This is all I know how to do at this point given my truncated internet time.

Congrats again,

Congrats to your new family and handsome son!!!
Thank you for sharing, I have truly enjoyed your writing.
Oleg is adorable. I'm so happy for your family, safe travels home!
He is adorable. Looks like a very happy and curious little boy. I love the picture with the sucker. He looks so innocent. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
Can't wait till you're all home and in your own surroundings to start the real life adventure!
Terrific pictures of Oleg. I think he has grown in the 2 weeks you have had him with you, comparing first day pictures with later ones. He sure looks happy and so do you and Derek. Hoping your final days there go quickly and you can be on your way home soon!!!

Have a safe trip Home
Kissses and hugs to you all, Lee
Thank you so much for sharing photos of your little guy.
This blog is an inspiration to me, and (altho i don't know you) you two are an inspiration too. I've just started the process of adopting, and it's so nice to see people who have gone before me and who are bringing their children home!!!
As if the bedtime woes are not sad enough to hear of...putting that adorable face with the story is heartbreaking! As the mom of 3though, I can assure you..."This too shall pass". Trust me, I say it to myself everyday! LOL
I realized I also never saw you and Derek, it was so nice putting pics with names.
COngrats you guys, what a long road it has been....
Congratulations.
Laura
He's adorable. All chubby-cheeked and bright-eyed.
Congrats!
