Please join us on our journey to bring home our son, William Andrew Graham.

William Andrew Graham was born on August 8, 2006. His name given at birth was Ivan Vladimirovich Bychkov. He was born at 29 weeks in a local hospital in Novokuznetsk, Russia. His mother abandoned him at the hospital and has not been heard from since. At birth he weighed a little over 2 pounds and was 43 cm long. He came to the orphanage in Novokuznetsk in October of 2006. To our knowledge, he is a healthy 2 year old with some mild psycho-speech delays. We now begin our journey to bring home our son who will be known as Drew.

Update Day ????

Hello from Moscow,

It is Thursday at 610 pm. Now we are only 8 hours ahead of you guys instead of 12. Drew is doing well! He is a very active 2 year old, to say the least! The doctor came to check him out this morning at our room. This afternoon we had our appointment at the American Embassy. So, now Drew has his passport and his Visa to come back to the U.S. Tomorrow is a holiday here, so we have to wait until Monday to go to the Russian Consulate to register Drew. OH yeah, Greg and Alan will be happy to know that Drew is probably a leftie!! Tomorrow we are going to try and take Drew to the zoo. Everything in Moscow is so expensive that we can't do a lot of activities here. I almost had to give Timothy mouth-to-mouth in the supermarket because I bought a PEOPLE magazine and it was $27.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought Tim was going to die! Love you guys!

Tim and Laura

    OH MY...he and Smith really are two peas in a pod. Smith is gonna be leftie too. Although my dad is making him learn golf right handed b/c he says "golf courses are built for right handed people". Sounds just like a man! We miss yall and no more People magazines we want Tim to make it home. John would have shat his pants and said absolutely not! Love Nat
