Hi Frank,

Hey -- I DO like that a lot! There are a couple of things in your changes that I still need to mull over...but I'm liking 95% of it! You have me thinking about the "shared blood" line too. It is awkward...hmmmmmm....

Also, lots of adopted pets and plants in my house! I heard about the new Russian law regarding adoption. It's a shame that they didn't let the adoptions that were already in motion go through, before implementing the law. If the children had already met the prospective parents, and were already dreaming of a family, then I think that the adoptions should have been allowed to go through. To do otherwise is very sad. Maybe a Grandfather Clause will be added.

Thank you for your great help with this!

Lisa
