Got the letter back from the translator today. We were ALL excited to get it. It is like hearing from a long lost relative. Well, I guess you could say that she IS! In parts of the letter it was like stepping into my son's previous life. The good part.
"It is raining here, the real autumn has begun. We will soon harvest potatoes."
Today is my son's birth-sibling's birthday- or maybe I should say yesterday was- the time change you know. We will get a picture of him taken on this day. My son is very excited. He has shown me where he wants the picture on his wall.
I am a little confused re: my son's sisters. The letter is from ONE of them. So maybe it is so- only three of the older girls were adopted. The three in the picture that I have. Yes, I have a picture of three of "EB's" sisters in America w/ an American couple. They have been there with the same family at least twice according to their Babushka. I have been assured over and over by my agency that they have been adopted. There seemed to be some question when I got the report from my searcher. I think it may be b/c one sister is still in Russia and the others are not. They were in a Children's Home in the city of Pokrov, Russia.
Natasha, whom I wrote about before is going to help me with writing to the proper authorities in Russia to try and get word to the girls adoptive parents to let them know where "EB" is. There is no way I want to interfere in their lives, I just.... want these kids to know where each other are and that they are safe and loved.

who? whom. whatever- I must have been spacing out during that part of class.
Sounds like a lot of siblings in this family. You may have mentioned previously, but curious how old they all are and why they were seperated etc. Call it the social worker's need for more information!
Good luck. It's wonderful you are taking the time and effort to find this for your child. It really does makea difference, even if a small one now, a big one when they get older and start really asking the big questions..........
Best of luck in your continuing investigations and joyful discoveries. I know you son is so excited to have this link to his siblings. Thanks for keeping us updated!
Steph- I'll try and get myself together enough to make a post about the meandering mess of all the siblings and why they aren't together soon. Personally- Its kind of a mystery to me too.
