Andrei was our coordinator when we adopted our twins in Stavropol in 1999. Are you still in touch with him? I would love to send him some photos of our kids, who are about to turn 13 years old! Thanks, Cecile
Oh, that is so cool! Yes, we ARE still in touch. I will send you an email.
We adopted our two girls at 1 and 4 in 2003. My children are now 9 and 12. They cried when they watched the video because all our things were ruined years ago so we don’t have the pictures and videos. Andrei was our coordinator also so it was so cool to watch this. Do you have his email? We would like to send him updated pictures of our girls.
So sorry you lost all of your photos. But glad our pics could help! Please email me and I will see if I can find Andrei’s contact info.
I read your article – such a wonderful story. Andrey was my coordinator when I adopted my daughter in 2000. I lost touch with him years ago. Would love to email him. Could you send me an email address for him?
We have been trying to adopt in Russian since 2010. We have been told about a possible referral in Stavropol. The US Department of State advises against US citizens traveling there as this time. I was curious as to how safe you felt there and if there were such warnings when you traveled. Thanks so much for your help. Blessings!
I don’t think there were any warnings when we traveled there. And we felt completely and totally safe. Hope that helps a little!
