My wife and I adopted this little girl from Russia last year. She arrived in the U.S. April 20, 2005. She didn't speak on word of english when she got here but now speaks english fluently. She was in an orphanage since the age of two. She was 10-1/2 when we adopted our daughter, "Ksenia". It's amazing what a little bit of nurishment and lots of love can do for a child.

Very cool! I have to tell my wife to get a different suit though. She has the exact same one. LOL.
