Now THIS is a Mother's Day Gift!!!!!

Posted on 08:44 by Harry
A missionary from Ivanovo worked at the orphanage Ilya was in - Shuya School Orphanage.  He now does work with EE students working in the US in the summer near Dollywood....and he has a FB presence.  I noticed that one of HIS FB friends was a young man named Dmitri, who had "Shuya School Orphanage" as his place of work.  I friended him, and he remembers Ilya!

We've chatted here and there a time or two, and today - lo and behold!  A most precious gift!  Photos of Ilya from before we adopted him.  No adoptive mother could be more grateful for anything!

Here he is - see? In blue in the second row.


He is in gray, behind the oranges.  I wish I could have been there.

Second from the right - enjoying himself!
And the best one of all.......
