We're Extremely Fortunate

We're extremely fortunate to have gotten over 20 video clips of Tamara during the referral process. We're also received countless photos. This is very unusual for an adoption referral. Usually adoptive parents either get one or two photos or travel on a blind referral.

Having these videos has helped us a great deal in getting to know our daughter even before we travel to meet her. Below you will find three videos of Tamara. These were sent to us 24 hrs. after I emailed the Denver Questionnaire which was sent to us by Dr. Aronson in NYC to check Tamara's development. Dr. Aronson is rated as one of the best International adoption pediatricians in the world.

Somethings got lost in the translation. Video # 1 She was to stack blocks, Video #2 She was told to stand on one foot and timed. Video #3 She had to show that she could dress herself.

We love the giggles... she's a cutie

We have gotten videos since these and her hair is starting to come in thicker as well as her lashes. It's amazing the difference we see in just the last couple of months. These children really do respond to proper nutrition and attention. So exciting!!!
