It's normally put on the area and covered with Tegaderm ot a large bandaid, an hour before the poke. It's wonderful for little tiny veins in little tiny arms! Your "new" kids appear to be thriving at home!

It's been fun to follow your journey and I look forward to every new post. I'm currently in Ukraine and have 5 days until our Gotcha Day! Your story gives me hope that everything will work out when we arrive home. God bless your wonderful family!Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02796147714130406587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348227215962540982.post-78781741339897396352011-06-25T11:25:06.803-05:002011-06-25T11:25:06.803-05:00It's interesting Alik's reaction to a russ...It's interesting Alik's reaction to a russian speaker. I've heard of another child doing the exact same thing. I think he was about seven and had been home for a little while and a lady at church began speaking russian to him. He shut down and would not answer. When he finally did say something to her in russian it was quite rude. I wonder what's going through their sweet little heads. I imagine hearing their native language again brings about a lot of confusing emotions.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09524319939326720041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348227215962540982.post-2434811611750956442011-06-25T11:23:48.592-05:002011-06-25T11:23:48.592-05:00I sat here grinning like a geek as I read.

I just LOVE your family, too! I'm learning so much about adoption and adoption parenting through your blog and others. So I wanted to say thank you for sharing it! Your family is just beautiful.Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14627445373050838039noreply@blogger.com
