When you adopt from Russia you are required by their government to give the courts reports on how your child is doing. We had to do a report at 1 month, 6 months, and now at 1 year. This isn't just a report that you write yourself, but you have a social worker come into your home and assess the conditions of the home, child, etc. Then the social worker writes the report and sends it to our adoption agency, who in turn sends it to Russia. Well, our 1 year report is done! Woo Hoo! Our social worker was amazed at how well Bradyn is doing and how he fits into our lives so perfectly. His comment was "You guys really do have a perfect family". We agree!
Not only have we been working on our post placement report, but we've been very concerned about Bradyn's Oomba (Grandma Taresh). She wasn't feeling very good and then got progressively worse to the point where her foot went numb and she was in great pain. She ended up being admitted to the hospital and was there for 9 days. They finally figured out that she had vasculitis. Luckily they were able to catch it in time and she is on the mend, although she is taking some pretty serious drugs. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers so that she is back to chasing Bradyn.

Oh Mr Brady -- how you have changed this year! I have loved watching it from afar! Please give your mama and papa big hugs for me as you cross your upcoming big anniversary!!
And also big hugs to Gramma please. She's a wonderfully sweet lady!
Yes, you certainly are the perfect family...we thank God daily for bringing Brady into our lives, we love him so very much.
We all marvel at his growth in every way. We definitely give his Mama & Papa credit for being such wonderful parents, and they truly are WONDERFUL PARENTS in every way.
Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers as I heal, and I will heal, I have so many reasons to....
We love you Brady, and love your Mama & Papa so very much.
love you all, Oomba & Oompa Taresh
How can it be a year already? Even though at times, it seems like Bradyn has always been with us. He is so blessed to have you guys as parents, and what he as observed and learned during this first year is almost impossible to comprehend. We love you all more than words can say, and look forward to seeing you over Thanksgiving (hopefully).
Mary, take good care of yourself so you get stronger and stronger everyday. We cherish our time on Sype with you. Brady is still the most adorable boy in the world.
Love you all,
Oompa and Ooba Lee
Give Mary our love, we hope she starts feeling back to her normal self soon!
I can't believe it has been one year! He fits perfectly into the family, give him hugs and kisses from us!
Wow, a whole year.. it just goes so fast. It's been so fun watching him grow and change. We had similar visits before our adoption was final. Just before visit number 1, Jesse leaned back and head butted me. It blacked my eye worse than any I've seen. I was so stressed about the social worker seeing it I canceled and said we were "sick". Even though you know you have the perfect family, those visits are still a little uncomfortable... I'm glad it's over for you. You are such great parents!!
I'm praying for your mom, hope she heals soon. Heavy duty meds are simply the worst. Keep us posted.
Much Love from Oregon...
