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

It is Monday around 945 pm here in Moscow. We took a boat tour today for 3 hours!! It was a long 3 hours with a 2 year old! Then we took him to McDonald's again!! He still loves the fries! We were also very brave and took the Metro(subway) in Moscow. I can't even begin to explain the subway in Moscow. But, we made it back to our hotel, that's all that matters!! We are counting down the hours until we leave for Atlanta. It is less than 48 hours! Thank everyone for all of their comments and prayers! Please continue to pray for our flight from Moscow to Atlanta!!
