1.  jayperiod (688) | 3 years ago |  I know what you mean about people from different countries not knowing what goes on in another country. Last year, we adopted a little girl from Ukraine. We found out that they tell children in Ukrainian orphanages that for punishment they will let them be adopted by Americans, who will take them back to the US and cut them open to sell their body parts. I'm not sure where that kind of thing gets started!
Let's see, I believe that Russian people are hard workers, but don't have the kinds of material possessions that we have here in America because the economy is still growing. It's very, very cold there and starts snowing sometime in late October or early November. It's a very large country, so to make generalizations about the people would be to miss the diversity of Russia. Russia produces many of the worlds greatest hockey player.
How am I doing so far? I also know that the Russian language is very difficult for Americans to learn and English can cause trouble for Russians. Our daughter has some problems with certain letters.
Is it true that everyone in Russia loves borsht? I'm sure that isn't a good spelling, but to translate the Russian into English, the letters look funny together.

| jayperiod (688) | 3 years ago | Oh, I wasn't implying that Ukraine is Russia. I was merely stating that I understand how stories can be exaggerated, even in my misunderstanding about Russians and borsh.
Although our daughter is from Ukraine, the small village she lived in still spoke Russian rather than Ukrainian. We have had here her for about 14 months, though, and she is progressing very well with English. We have some friends here who are from Russia and they are helping her to remember her Russian as she learns English. We even have some books in Russian for her to read so she won't forget. | |

|
| evgkol (18) | 3 years ago | It's great! Did you adopt her? How old is she?
Do you speak russian? | |
|
|
| jayperiod (688) | 3 years ago | We adopted her about 14 months ago. She is now 11, almost 12 years old. I speak very, very little Russian. Before we adopted, we learned a enough to communicate some of the basics with her. I haven't used it much in a while.
I did learn the Russian alphabet so I could read words, even though I wouldn't know what I was reading. Very different alphabet. | |
|
|
| evgkol (18) | 3 years ago | ??????! Respect! But if can tell me why did you adopt ukraine child?
And why did you adopt child? What's her name? | |
|
|
| jayperiod (688) | 3 years ago | Cool, I love the Russian word there.
We chose Ukraine because we had a friend with an adoption agency who handled Ukrainian adoptions and she waived her fees. So it just became economical.
My wife and I always wanted to adopt. We have one biological daughter and she was excited about having a sister from another country. Last year became the right time.
Her name is Vira. We kept her Ukrainian name. | |

2.  VKXY62 (947) | 3 years ago |  Hello, I would love to visit Russia.
When I was a teenager, I wrote to a place in Moscow for a pen pal, never got a reply, but that was back in the Soviet Union days and foreigners were very suspect and so were you if you knew one.
I think the place was at Bogdan Khmelnitski place or drive in Moscow, funny how that got stuck in my head, along with all the other bits of useless information. Committee of Youth Organisations was its name.
Oh well, loochshee adeen ras ooveedeet, chem sto ras ooslishat.
I wish I had a Russian keyboard.
