Sept.7th

Today we went to church but not with the boys. They wouldn't let us take the boys out today not until tomorrow after the court date. Then after church we went to the school and we got to talk to Ruslan's teacher Maria. she said wonderful things about Ruslan and then showed us pictures of when he was younger. She is letting us take her photo album to copy the pictures. Then she gave us all of his awards and certificates that he had won or gotten. We also got to have a one on one with just Ruslan and Natalie the translator to see how Ruslan was feeling about all this and to read our letter we wrote to tell him how we felt about all this and family rules and what was expected in our home. We wanted to know what his hopes and dreams where and all he said was to have a family. It was our favorite day so far. We let Ruslan take the camera to take some memory pictures of the school his room friends ect.. So hopefully it will work and you can see some of the pictures that where taken today.
