I just dispise the whole industry. It's miserable, expensive, uncomfortable and utter hell! Once Olivia begins to trust and feel secure, she may have her shutdowns less and less. Vika and I still have daily battles over things. She's mostly happy, but if she doesn't get her way on something she cries as if the world is ending for her. It's better when it's just us, but in a group setting like over the Holiday, it was REALLY hard to have any sense of discipline. Everyone wants to just give her what she wants and that's not HELPING! She needs to learn the boundaries and that I'm the one who sets them for her, and none of my relatives want to respect my wishes. They think I'm just an ogre. Tsk tsk. But I know my consistency with her and my love and affection will make a difference with our attachment eventually. I can't wait to see more pics of your new family! Congratulations again.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983030065428717264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8057289105838628687.post-50149767004681006792008-12-27T15:04:00.000-06:002008-12-27T15:04:00.000-06:00So glad you made it home.

While we are dreading making the trek again, we can not wait to go back and see Blake. We will continue to check in to hear about the kids' progress. We love to hear all the stories - especially the funny firt-time-parent ones! <BR/>~Justin and HeatherHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15524018893593294945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8057289105838628687.post-87458170947128379332008-12-27T09:21:00.000-06:002008-12-27T09:21:00.000-06:00We are so happy to hear that you made it home!

I too remember waiting FOREVER in immigration in Atlanta (with our first adoption it was 30 minutes). They used to separate out adoptions and process those quickly - not any more! I remember Ruslan being so tired after the flight. And, we just wanted to get home. We live in Atlanta and didn't have to deal with connections - I cannot even imagine how frustrating it was!<BR/><BR/>Sorry Delta was such a pain. They are our "hometown" airline but lately, their customer service is on the decline!Bill and Myrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08283337887524779246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8057289105838628687.post-16280759138410835332008-12-27T07:36:00.000-06:002008-12-27T07:36:00.000-06:00Congratulations on being at home, guys!

Have fun getting settled. There will certainly be challenges (as you've already experienced) but the joys far outweigh them!
