Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take,
but by the moments that take your breath away.

Some videos of Klintsy

One of the moms on my Bryansk Adoption Yahoo Group posted her and her husband's videos on You Tube of their trips to pick up their little girl. Their daughter was in the Klintsy baby home with Aaden and these videos are from this past December and January. I was hoping to catch a glimpse of Aaden but we weren't that lucky. But since our video camera broke while we were in Russia and we didn't get to video it, this was such a blessing to find. These videos give you more of sense of what it's like in Bryansk and Klintsy than just the pictures I took:

This first half of this one is in Moscow. Once you see them on the train (it's the same train we took), that is Bryansk and Klintsy. You see them walk into the orphange and then it's back to Moscow.

This one starts out in Moscow with the Kremlin all lit up for the holidays. Then it changes to their daughter in the Klintsy orphanage and you get to see more of the inside and where the babies play and sleep. We didn't even get to see this when we were there. After the credits there's more of the inside of the orphange.

This one starts out as they drive into the town of Klintsy on the way into the orphanage to pick up their daughter. It's a great example of what the town looks like and the outside of the orphanage. The hotel they go to after they pick up their daughter is where Michael and I stayed in Bryansk. At around 2 mins 15 sec they switch to Moscow.

I hope you enjoy these. We really did :)
