Court in Serov At 11:00 a.m. we went to court.
The judge was very nice. The hearing lasted 20 minutes.

| Back to the Orphanage We returned to the orphanage to
eat lunch: tomatoes, pickles, bread, soup (served with mayonnaise or sour cream), fried
potatoes, meat, and chocolate candy bars for dessert.
The orphanage is very hot. Everyone is very friendly. There are 55-60
children in the orphanage but several are not adoptable (working mothers have them there
for daycare during the day, the children are ill, or parents are in jail). |

This is a picture of Maks' room. In front is a double high chair and
4-5 babies play in the playpen. |
| All of the baby carriages in Russia look like this. During naptime,
the babies are bundled up and the carriages are wheeled outside into the snowbanks to take
their naps. This also is to give them fresh air. |

Mommy in front of an apartment building. Almost all of the people in
Russia live in apartments because there is no banking system in Russia, thus no mortgages.
If a person wants to have their own home, they must pay cash. |
