It&#8217;s a difficult question to answer &#8212; not because I don&#8217;t have the number (Quicken spits out a detailed report of every trackable expense and I am incredibly and obsessively detailed with my ledger entries) but because it is both a personal issue [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://adoption.lecour.us/201101/how-much-did-the-adoption-cost-1183.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>256 Days Later</title><link>http://adoption.lecour.us/201101/256-days-later-1163.html</link> <comments>http://adoption.lecour.us/201101/256-days-later-1163.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 04 Jan 2011 16:49:53 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Richard</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://adoption.lecour.us/?p=1163</guid> <description><![CDATA[I had originally planned a bunch of post-arrival updates, each arbitrary milestone gradually falling away missed: one at 100 days, four months, the next at six months, then 200 days went by. More than eight months later, still nothing. During the nine months we endured the process to bring Lena home, I followed the blogs [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://adoption.lecour.us/201101/256-days-later-1163.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Twelve Days Later</title><link>http://adoption.lecour.us/201005/twelve-days-later-1125.html</link> <comments>http://adoption.lecour.us/201005/twelve-days-later-1125.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 07 May 2010 16:41:05 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Richard</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://adoption.lecour.us/?p=1125</guid> <description><![CDATA[Lena has been busy! Just 48 hours after Lena and I arrived back home in San Jose, another group of orphans from Ukraine arrived for a two-week &#8220;vacation&#8221;. Obviously, we are not in the position to host any of these kids since Lena is (and we all are) still adjusting to our new home life.

She and I arrived home excited but tired on Saturday night. We all stayed up a bit later than normal, and went to bed around 11:30PM. Lena has been on a wake-at-eight, sleep-at-ten schedule ever since. No naps, and she doesn&#8217;t seem to be waking up [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://adoption.lecour.us/201004/three-days-post-arrival-1118.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Ukraine Trip #2 Wrap-Up</title><link>http://adoption.lecour.us/201004/ukraine-trip-2-wrap-up-1112.html</link> <comments>http://adoption.lecour.us/201004/ukraine-trip-2-wrap-up-1112.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 27 Apr 2010 05:37:25 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Richard</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://adoption.lecour.us/?p=1112</guid> <description><![CDATA[After the debacle that was the flight back to Ukraine, the rest of the second trip went very smoothly by comparison. Not long after the driver and I arrived in Mariupol on Tuesday and drove to the courthouse, at 9:24AM Ukraine time I woke up Kim at 11:24PM California time by phone to tell her [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://adoption.lecour.us/201004/ukraine-trip-2-wrap-up-1112.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
