I'm Kyle, the not so little, little brother to Steven. Like my big sister Nadia. I'm also adopted from Russia. Dad came to get me from the hospital in Shakhty where I lived. He wrote a story about his adoption trip to Russia. He also has some pictures. From his trip to get Nadia. This is me in November 1997, just a couple of months after getting home. Dad came to Russia to get me and bring me home in September. I like dressing up in costumes. This is me in my Halloween costume in 1998.

Kyle's Adoption Story
http://www.oifamily.com/kyle/kyle-adoption-story.htm
Welcome Home Our "American" Son. Please find me an American Mommy and Daddy. At first it seemed only a matter of time before Vasya, too, would have a family of his own. Natasha Mishina, the Director of American Adoptions. Every time he was reviewed and rejected by a potential adoptive family, Natasha would cluck in her thick Russian accent, "Aah! My Vasya. He is not a lucky boy.". Outside the world is a huge and overwhelming place! October 3, 1997. Thank you for helping me find my Mommy and Daddy.
