How cool is this???

I've recently been in touch with another family that's adopting from the same region that we adopted Ashlyn from ( http://wolffamilyadoption.blogspot.com/). They met their little boy in July and are now waiting for a court date. They just found out that the judge will be on vacation for ANOTHER month, so they're feeling a little discouraged about this. Anyways, after talking with the mother for over an hour, and sharing photos and stories, we realized that our little one's were most likely in the same room together at some time ( she's going to confirm this when she goes back). One of the things that I really wished I could have seen was where Ashlyn slept, and the children that she lived with , but we were told that we couldn't. This family insisted on seeing it and she shared the details with me! How cool is that??? I guess there were two rooms for sleeping. One room was for daytime and one room was for night. In the day room, the windows are left opened EVERY day, even in the winter ( they just bundle the kids up in snowsuits). The cribs are all white and there are about 18 or so lined right next to each other. She said that it was very sad to see some of the other children because it was pretty obvious that they had some major 'issues" going on. On a brighter note, she noticed that there was a little bulletin board with pictures of children who have been adopted from that orphanage hanging in the hallway . She sent a few pictures that she took of it to me and I noticed right away that Ashlyn was ON IT. How awesome to get to see this!!! When she goes back to Russia , to get her little boy , she's going to bring some photos of Ashlyn, to share with the orphanage staff :)! Ashlyn is the one wearing a red dress, right next to the little guys head.
