In a couple of hours we will be leaving for the American Consulate and then the airport to come home, but I thought I’d leave you with this glimpse of the comedy and horror that is apparantly a tradition of adoptive families at the White Swan. There is a red couch in a picturesque area of the hotel where groups of adopting families take pictures of their children. How this horrific and torturtous tradition started I’ll never know…after watching the spectacle my guess is that it is something the Emperors used to torture the children of disobediant slaves. In any case, everyone got through it without any apparant permanent emotional scars. To set you all at ease, I’ve included a few photos we took after getting Nadia back to the hotel room…so you can see she is still happy.
See you all soon, back in America!
Mike
