| So proud to finish the Fun Run 2012 |
My husband and I have the pleasure of loving and parenting 2 young sons from different regions in Russia. We adopted our first son (seen here) back in 2006 with the help of an incredible US adoption agency, European Adoption Consultants (eaci.com) based in Strongsville, OH. What an adventure! My 6 yr. old is from the Republic of Karelia, city of Petrozavodsk which is Karelia's capital city. It is located 15 hours by train, north of Moscow and is in a remote but surprisingly busy area of the Russian Federation. Petrozavodsk is within walking distance to Lake Onega which is a beautiful recreational area. There are about 1650 islands on the lake. They include Kizhi, which hosts a historical complex of 89 orthodox wooden churches and other wooden constructions of 15th–20th centuries. Traveling to this region was, to say the least, an experience never to be forgotten! Beautiful, interesting people reside in this arctic region of Russia. I will share more about this area in future posts.
