  • 10/15/2009 4:53:56 PMNews News NewsEvery day when I come home from work, Michael asks me if I have heard any Russian news.  Some days there is more news than others and mostly what I tell him are the headlines that appear on Google.  What Medvedev or Putin has said or done recently, how the most recent trip of President Obama or Secretary of State Clinton went, the situation in Georgia.

    Recently I have been telling him of the latest events of the Russian Orphan Lighthouse Project.  They are preparing for a trip over to Russia where they will bring prospective adoptive families to Moscow and the orphanages they work with.  This trip is intended to be the first of two trips that are required by Russian Law when adopting a Russian Child.  For more details, take a look at the Russian Orphan Lighthouse Project website or their blog.

    While I was poking around on YouTube, I found some more videos that pertain to the current state of orphans in Russia.  Watch the video below or go to YouTube and search for "Russian orphan".
