what a a wonderful story! i have one too about my ggrandfather and family from Russia (he was polish). could we share stories or keep contact? my ggrands daughter wrote the short story of it all! (he learned to make outdoorsmen boots as a trade but when in north dakota became wheat farmer.)

Praise God! Best of Luck!!!

Well praise the Lord. . I pray my grandson gets to come back home too

Thank God this family has been reunited and the judge did the right thing. I pray your family can begin healing from what has happened.
