After plenty of "mishagoss" (I'm sure I mispelled that) our fly away date for the second trip was postponed until 3 JAN. It's not all bad though. It gave us time to do the babies room, get ready for traveling 8000 miles with Alexei, and benefit from the experience of friends who went and completed the process while we were waiting. This week I am painting Alexei's room and refinishing some furniture. We also got to take advantage of the lull before the storm. With the Holidays upon us it may have actually worked out for the better for all of us. At least now there will be something to celebrate after the Holidays as well. Stay tuned for round 2 of "Seeking Alexei"
Happy Holidays to everyone!
By the way, there has been some confusion about what to call "him." His formal name is Alexei, his nickname is "Zach." Call him what you like, he eventually will respond to both.

I am really glad that you finally posted an update and that your enjoying your time getting ready for your beautiful son to come home. He is absolutely adorable. I will be travelling to Kostanai to hopefully meet a baby girl at the end of January so your blog is close to my heart.
I look forward to the day you pick Alexei up and more updates.

Hey, y'all. I'm glad you posted again, too. Bonnie, you look so happy and surprised at her shower. You did a good job keeping the secret and her away from home, Jeff.
We miss you and Alexei. It was so weird and sad to walk into the baby room one day to find that the familiar babies, Alexei included, had been moved. I am so glad we got that last adorable, smiling picture of him. I was helping him stand that day, but by the time you see him, he probably won't need any help. I'll be so glad when you get to bring him home!
Merry Christmas,
John, Jenny, and Roxana

Hi there. We completed our adoption from kostanai right before you arrived there and I was just wondering if you had headed back yet. "Zach" is beautiful.
