Hello Neighbors, Some of you may recognize my name as the person who emailed so many times about an impending adoption. The good news is that we brought our little Ana home from Russia in October. I promised to send a picture out when she was here - so I have attached one. Thanks so much to everyone who helped us along our journey!! Now on to the next phase! I'm looking for information on the following things: 1. Does anyone know of any nearby Mother's Day Out programs that they would recommend? 2. We are considering part time in-home help while I work and are trying to get a feel for the costs. If anyone is doing something similar and wouldn't mind sharing what they pay per hour, that would be greatly appreciated! We are looking at about 20 hours per week. 3. I'm also interested in finding out about any play groups or other programs/activities for little ones. Ana will be 15 mos. in December, but because she was premature and was also delayed due to circumstances, she is closer to a 12-13 mos. old at this point but should catch up quickly. Thanks for any and all advice! Alison Bogle _________________________________________________________________ You keep typing, we keep giving.
