Full Circle for D
Wednesday, May 09, 2007
In this post on Tami's blog she displays a photo and talks about how moving it was for her to see her son, adopted as a young toddler, walking once again on Russian soil.




I know exactly how she felt taking that picture. I can vividly remember how I felt so moved when I took these pictures of D and her daddy walking in the Russian snow when we went to meet V. A comforting feeling knowing that you've brought them back to revisit their homeland, and that the child is so proud to be Russian and American. But at the same time knowing that they are fully and completely your child.

I think it's so great that she knows exactly where she came from (at least on a 6 yr olds level).
And to be able to walk in that land. Truly amazing!
Soon you'll have pictures of both your girls walking those streets together. Just no snow... maybe.

It's powerful that she was able to go back. Some of friends kids who have gone back as older children have had mixed feelings. One, who has a thick Russian accent, said that no one there would know he was Russian. He wanted more than ever to be percieved as American. Once he was there, he was proud to be Russian and American.
