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!
