We've been asked what a typical is like for adopting parents in Karaganda. We're finding that our days are very structured and have been laid out for us for the most part. We wake up about 7:30. We're off to the orphanage by 9:40 arriving by 10 am. We're allowed to visit the twins from 10 to 12. At noon we return to our appartment for lunch. Our driver picks us up again at 3:40. Our afternoon visit is from 4 to 6. Visits are allowed Monday through Saturday. No visits on Sunday.
When we arrive in the morning we head to the nursery to get the girls. They're usually dressed and ready to go. It's so cute to open that door and see them come running to us in their walkers. After we pick them up from the nursery we head off to the play room. There are lots of toys to play with. There's even a giant tiger and alligator on the far end of the room for the kids to climb all over.
When we arrive for the afternoon visit the twins are just getting up from their nap so we get to watch them get dressed and then we feed them their cereal. It's amazing to watch the caregivers feed all those babies in record time. Xenia and Sophia on the other hand think that mom and dad feeding them is play time. They like to bite their spoons just to see our reaction. They can really bite down hard! Our little cuties each have 4 teeth - 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom.
