The bottom two photos are of the National Adoption Center! You'd never know that such an ordinary-looking place was sooo important! (Also notice what a "typical" public restroom -women's or men's! - looks like in Ukraine.)

Did you know that Ukraine has CASTLES? They Do! They Do! :O)

Learn anything you ever wanted to know about Ukraine HERE! Also, see what Chernobyl is is like years after it's nuclear reactor disaster.

Btw, I suggest you get started learning some Russian! You can learn a little online, but in my book,nothing can beat the Pimsleur method for quick language learning. If we could have afforded it, we would have bought their whole Russian series of tapes/cds. Pimsleur also has one level of Ukrainian. I'm quite sold on the effectiveness of this audio series. Our library had some, so you might check there if your bank account is like ours! Good luck!

Are you adopting from Ukraine too? You might also benefit from a CD called "Ukrainian plus Russian Phrases for Children". There is also some online phrases to say to your children at this website.
