Hey guys. My best friend Natasha (she’s almost 15) was adopted from Russia when she was 4. The place she was adopted from didn’t teach her how to talk, so now she has no Russian accent, she talks like a normal American. Well she doesn’t want anyone to know she’s adopted. What happned was her real mother just left her in a deserted office for 4 months with no food. So she was basically living off of the fat in her body. So anytime we’re talking about adoption in school she just says nothing and she gets mad when 1 of our friends tell someone else she’s adopted. Her family is awesome! They have 2 other kids adopted from Russia and they all get along like a real family! Plus they all speak english and sound American. You can’t even tell they’re from Russia! But another thing is she doesn’t like people to know that she went to Israel on vacation in Jan. because she’s Jewish. Why is she soo defensive about being adopted or from Russia!? If I were her I would be proud of who i am!
This kid called her a “Dirty Jew” once in school and he got suspended but even before that she didn’t want anyone to know about her past

MY husband and I have no children, but take our dogs on vacation with us due to boarding them being so expensive. This year, with gas and everything being so high we’re limited in where we can go. I suggested staying at my mother’s, and using her house as sort of a home base and take a few overnight trips from there. Also since she lives near Chicago, there’s a ton of things we can go out and do.

Now a friend of his who has been working in the amercian embassy in Russia is planning on coming home for a visit during the first 4 days of our vacation, and my husband wants to stay home and hang out with him. I’m totally against leaving 4 days late, we only have 1 week.

What should I do? Personally, I’m all for me going up to my mom’s with the dogs and let him follow on the train when he wants to. Me and the dogs can go to indiana beach every day that he’s not there. Then when he catches up we can do other things.
