...What fantastic news, and such beautiful pictures!<br /><br />Sarah, I have been following "Angel Eyes" since the arrival of my own chromosomally-enhanced princess two and a half years ago, and always loved reading about Zoya. I have followed this blog avidly, and it's fabulous to see such a wonderful outcome for you.<br /><br />Best of luck with the visa, be assured that even all the way over here in country South Australia, people are thinking of you, and hoping all goes well.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your beautiful journey xxLeighton Pearcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13376840600850932277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-895229878091704878.post-86269406395645617162011-11-17T14:29:02.016-08:002011-11-17T14:29:02.016-08:00So glad you have internet again!

You can seriously see her love for you after looking at the photo of the caregiver feeding her and then the photos her looking at you. Serious love, sooo awesome!!!! I do have a question for you in the photo of you with the directors on the wall behind you is that kids that have left the orphanage and been adopted out? That is what I am praying those photos are, anyway. Again congrats!!!!<br /><br />MandyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-895229878091704878.post-18404744372204750592011-11-17T13:25:35.231-08:002011-11-17T13:25:35.231-08:00She is so beautiful.
