[Cartoon on the trial of Scottsboro; Source: Library of Congress]

The sensational trial of Scottsboro is in the context of the Depression of the 1930s . In 1931, the economic and social situation of the United States is very worrying: the millions of unemployed, the hungry ... All Americans suffer the consequences of the crisis, but Blacks are the first to be laid driven from their homes and forced to wander the roads looking for a source of income or a pittance. In 1934, 17% of whites and 38% of blacks are unable to meet their needs.

States disunited Vladimir Pozner, an extraordinary chronicle of America's Great Depression written in 1936-37, has many stories of racism exacerbated by the surrounding poverty. Here's an excerpt: "The Black suffers as workers (...). He suffers as unemployed. He also suffers as Black. He pays more for everything he buys, he gets less for all what it offers. It is the first to be dismissed, the last to be hired. It is not allowed in most hotels and restaurants outside of Harlem. For a judge, a black defendant is guilty advance . But the black jurors are extremely rare. Even in the prisons of New York, blacks are locked up separately. Only in cemetery they are buried with whites, poor whites, of course. "

swing

I remember a tree. From a huge tree under which they played little. A legend said it was a hundred years and he knew our grandparents. Then he whispered all sorts of stories, we wanted these secrets it keeps. This massive tree and immortal.

I remember a swing. My feet never touched the ground. I asked that pushes me far, far away until I feel the wind in my hair and delicious fear of falling.

I remember one very nice boy. A boy I liked. And when we played hide and seek, it is with him I always wanted to hide.

I remember a restaurant that provided delicious pancakes. Pancakes with butter and sugar. He was my favorite sin.

I remember this restaurant which later went. I found a bar where all my friends, all my prospects.

I went back, years later, revisit these moments of the past. But the tree was not as large as telling my ideas. The swing not quite as high. And very ugly boy. The bar got bored. And pancakes had become inedible.

I returned, disappointed, in my present which was previously awarded by the sparks of my memories. I wanted my memory betrayed me. I wanted my imagination, which she, without any invitation, came to mix the real and the unreal.

I should leave ... I do believe it's because I saw these false memories. I should continue my path, keep the spark, tell the delight of my past, borrow from my memory, my imagination to add a little more each time I think and yet more each time I said, I welcome this false happiness but still pleasant, smile, have the spark in the eye and to draw strength to continue, hoping to return them ... Because it

stirring the past, looking for evidence when the deadline has passed, calling into question the accuracy of memories that are being destroyed what remained in our hungry heart.

Memories belong to a bygone era. To a complete phase. At a time fatal. The memories should stay where they were left. Even when they are only half true. The page must be rotated. And when we try to resurrect, you end up killing them. And our story, my love, and that's the truth. ©

Prolexis Make Enhancement

A toast to ALL single parents!

I know, I know, I have not done my blog for so long but you will understand that with 2 young children who come out of the ordinary World is something! Never I would have thought! I tell you some stuff ...

First Day of departure of the children at the orphanage went very well. Andrei was so proud that his mother had arranged it all. She had even bought a big present for each class two groups of children. Then I brought all that was needed for get the kids ... underwear, socks, shoes, tights, camisoles, sweaters, coats, hats, mittens, etc.. They were very proud of their new clothes. Then we went to order a pizza that we ate with Natalia to the Lugansk apartment. As in ordinary life, we even had a visit from Ludovic and Chantal. The kids were excited ... which would not be living in all these emotions.

I will continue in point form because I have very little time before the kids wake up.

• Surveys at 4:30 to leave at 5:30 to catch our 7:00 flight. Tough but children have done very well this.
• arrived in Lugansk, the Viktormobile waiting for us and led us to the grocery store.
• Then we were at the apartment we booked was apparently only available for a mother and her two children along as a boat (can not supervise children in the lounge when I make the dinners) and Above all, it's freezing (heating in Ukraine is still sometimes centralized and controlled by the state that had not yet "alum" it was 7 degrees Celsius!) And the cherry on the Sunday, no washing machine! With two children??
• We ended up spending three days to be told they were looking for another apartment for us and we've moved Sunday lunch ... Kseniya and Natalia came and two other couples of adoptive parents (THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU) came to help.
• children are extraordinary. ... So intelligent they are sponges. They learn at the speed of V. But these are children and child who says, "said childish! Especially since they have just emerged from a highly regulated structured and where life is all organized. Since I took them to the orphanage, and the new:
• 3 apartments in 5 days, restaurants, a large bath with foam, a mother always always there for them and who does not speak their language (which she says exactly)?? A large bed where the mother slept with children, etc..
• is very exciting for them and I spend most difficult time. I'm disappointed that no one informed me that it would be so hard being alone with two adopted children. Had I known, I called my mother or my sister Anne to me has offered several times!
• Still, the joy of being with my kids always fills me with happiness. They are really mine (and of course Thomas) ... soon we will feel that they have always lived together!
• Andrei loves talking with Babushka Vera. He tells her all sorts of wild stories. Tonight for example, he said he had 13 years! Anything. But Andrei is pretty special. He did not seem to be 7 years. Physically yes, absolutely. But mentally, it seems much more mature than his age. It has a great sense of humor and always telling tall tales but seriously, I will not say! Lisa
• music in the blood. She sings and dances all day. She is always cheerful and crisettes are becoming less frequent. She understands better and better what he arrives and she is ecstatic. She keeps telling me she loves me: Ya te lou blou Bec ... Mom to Mom ... etc.. It is very endearing. It will certainly further to the other women here and there but understands that I am his mom and it's me who cares for her and fills her needs.
• Tomorrow I have to go to the Embassy for visas children. Children have Ukrainian passports and we need to get visas for them to come to Canada with me. Dodos IN 2!
• Well I'm lying, it's already 12:42 ET I have to get up early to go to the embassy.

PS. More photos ... I lost my camera on the plane between Lugansk and Kiev and I was not able to go buy me another one - a single mother can not!

PS2. Sorry for this blog short, probably full of errors and with very little content but I run, I run, I run.

Kates Playground On Step

Another emotional day ... It's officially official ...

Party at 9:45 (our driver was 15 minutes late despite our busy schedules). This is a new, Alexei fell we left for higher paying customers probably ... too bad for him. The new name is Vitaly and beautiful as any ... it looks a bit like Ron, a co-worker. He does not talk much but his car smell good ... is correct.

So we picked up the famous Order of Court confirming our new status as parents to leave the race almost all the missing documents. First, the registry of births, a Heuver Lugansk, in the birthplace of children. Waiting, waiting, waiting. Then, Office of National code (they call it a Tax Code but is a bit like an identification number or our Social Security Number). Waiting, waiting, waiting. Everything is done by hand here. I took some pictures and many things reminiscent of the former USSR, missing since still only 19 years! Each document costs dollars, still in hard cash, never received ... Then we go back for the new birth certificate with the new names of children.

Back in Lugansk, wait waiting, waiting and then we went back to our nice notary who authenticated to the nth time the new birth certificates.

With these new documents, we could go to the Passport Office to apply for and the lady did on the field. Sergei, a facilitator familiar with the workings we had organized everything. ; She asked us 30 to 25 minutes ... it took 45! It was cold and we waited in the car. Fortunately Vitali opened the heater! Wait, wait, wait.

After this stage was not completed, we had to make a few kilometers with Sergei and the lady all crammed into the small car to another passport office ... person who issues the official passport. Still waiting, waiting, waiting. But I was happy because that doing it all in one day is not really clear and Natalia had succeeded when I was happy. Especially since the passports are an important part of what remained to be done before leaving. Congratulations to Natalia that darkens everywhere, who passes in front of everyone and who is not afraid to venture into all the steps .. the risk of getting into trouble. Despite his 5 feet 3 inches, it is a real little pitt bull!

When I had the passports in hand, I was very proud. Finally, these children are entrusted to me ... "A pure delight! Tom also adore these passports ... He liked yesterday when he saw the children's names on the confirmation of airline tickets that I sent to him via email: Elisaveta Olshefsky and Andrei Olshefsky. He told me: Wow ... I really have children now!

So I asked Natalia if instead of starting on Monday 11 I could go on Saturday or Sunday before ... She called Ksényia and that's when I knew that not only I could go on 11 but I had to leave after 12 or 13! I was completely devastated. ... I do not understand I thought the big deal was the passport but I had hands!. Why must it always be so complicated?? I really had a fit in the car to Natalia telling him that I did not understand why nobody told me before I could leave on October 11, which was Monday of Thanksgiving, so we leave home in Quebec!

Discouraged, tired and disgusted (plus we had to return to Starting tomorrow, the party of children because of lack of time) so I asked Natalia to go home ... I needed to relax. ... I was so disappointed so! Finally

Chantal and Ludovic came home and we went to eat sushi with Natalia. ... Delicious and super company Unfortunately, we had come earlier, Natalia is still jammed and want to bed early ...

Back at home I was still frustrated ... After several conversations with Tom and I reasoned that Nadia told me, I calmed down and I realized that I could change anything and that my return will be 13 next Wednesday. But what is 2 days longer in this long process! In addition, I will be able to visit Kiev wonderful to my children! It's all good ...

On this my dear friends, I kiss you and tells you very soon!

Micro V 2. Metal Core Wheels

Thomas and Lucy are now the parents of Elisaveta and Andrei!

Before: very very happy!

After ... Twice as happy!

Today ... I see life in pink. What a great day!

Today is the deadline of 10 days specified in the law so that anyone objects to the adoption order, ends. Ten long days waiting this moment of certainty that no one can separate us from our treasures.

I'm certainly not bored during these ten days. I did not even claim that the time was long. But God I can not wait ten days pass and an imminent departure to Kiev and then to Montreal! In addition to having a wild desire to have my children with me always, I miss Tom! But it finishes, it's almost finished! And what is a short week when we are here for over 2 months !

This morning Natalya has therefore come to the apartment to come give me a hand to finish the process and help me get out of the orphanage children. What will you say? Since time you wait, you're not capable alone? Actually, not really. It's a bit complicated. Let me explain.

After a good breakfast and a shower Natalia - she came of a journey of 15 hours by train from Kiev. She also washed all her clothes because they "felt" train me she said ...

So we went to court to change a small mistake that Natalia was detected in our documents. Then we went to the orphanage to meet other papers. I took the opportunity to Elisaveta go. She was so happy, she kept laughing and smiling and take me to kiss cheeks. I so tight against me, saying: "Now My Darling, I'm your new mom and this, whether you like it or not, for the rest of your days! Curiously, she seemed to understand and would go well my hugs. I love him so much ... even the nannies do not come back to see us together. The attachment with this one will not be too complicated ... I know there's nothing done yet because it is much too early but I predicted that it is almost because it is like a thunderbolt that we had together ... almost from the first minute we had met!

Unfortunately, after 10 minutes, the Nanny came to look for lunch. Strangely, she seemed a bit silly and said: Ok Lisa, lunch is served ... paka paka Mom. She then turned and closed the door leaving me there alone in the dark room, close to tears. I quickly consoled myself by saying that it is only matter of a few days to undergo the routines and regulations of the Orphanage. Soon I will decide these questions for her. Soon I will know if she has eaten for dinner, if she slept an hour or two at nap time or if it has a big or small poop in the morning. I know if she was sad when she went to bed the night before or if she has a boyfriend chicanée during recess ... I can understand what she saw and act accordingly!

Natalia So I joined the office of counsel for the Orphanage and we left to go shopping at the market. I bought a coat, booties, toque, the conmbinaison for Andrei and boots and a hat for Lisa. I buy as little as possible because I know that in Montreal, there will be many friends and family ... that all began to gather here and there! I appreciate so much all these things that have to Montreal to give us a hand. I even have a friend who took the initiative to send an email all her friends to tell them she would pick up tips that could accommodate a 4 year old girl and a boy of 7 years! Dear Michele!

Around 16:00, we returned to Orphanage. We tried the boots for children and Andrei tried his coat and pants that I had bought last week. Everything was perfect. The sizes are perfect. In addition to the have in the skin, I have them in the eye! we arrived Andrei who was in the yard has run at me and shook me. He was obviously happy he even told Natalia that 'He was so anxious to go home he could hardly sleep at night! We have promised him to hurry as much as possible to finish everything ... and if it was not starting tomorrow, we went on Wednesday. I told him that tomorrow there would be a surprise ... He was happy. When I kissed him before leaving it was very tight and strong I knew he understood that soon, very soon, we would no longer be separated and that very soon it would see his dad in Montreal, in his house!

Tomorrow there will be two small Partys departure. One group for Andrei and the other for group Elisaveta. As is tradition, I'll bring the juice, fruits and cakes.

Natalia and I the day will be busy. We will leave at 9:30 to go pick up the Order of the Court which will allow us to go changing the register of births (in the hometown of children which is about an hour of Lugansk) and then we will be able to complete the application for passports. We can have our passports as soon as tomorrow! But it can take several days. In Ukraine, you never know. As said Natalia always: We'll see .... We must also go to the department signing adoption of Lugansk, to shop for a farewell party, bought a gift for the director of the orphanage, etc.. It does not remain idle!

But hopefully tomorrow night will last a long time where I have to say "goodbye" to children because Wednesday I kidnap them after the dodo in the afternoon around 16:00 and it s 'true home. I think I'll lie both in my bed! No joke but I really look forward very much, I'll be very busy, probably too busy to write on my blog as regularly, but I promise to keep you informed as often as possible.

Thursday morning I decided to go to Kiev by plane instead of undergoing the 15-hour train ride. I'm very glad I made the decision that only costs a few hundred dollars more. But I don 'not really had the courage to make this trip.

arrived in Kiev we will ask for visas for the children before I change my return date from the beginning to 11 October and reserve seats for children.

Meanwhile, Paka Paka! Dasvidania! xxx

The Wedding Mount Blade

Show Director at The Orphanage

Yesterday was the Feast of the Orphanage is to say that some children were selected to perform for the remission of plaques awarded to some staff of the orphanage. It was very touching because these people work very hard and they were proud to be rewarded. Simply a signature plate with the seal of the Director of the orphanage and a nice big red rose. But for them it means everything! The efforts deployed cest people every day, you have no idea!

The ceremony happened in Russian of course but at some point, I realized that the Director talked to me (Tom and me) and Andrei who was in the room and everyone cheered, including me, I did not know what he said but I was happy. He said no doubt that we told him how much we were impressed by the quality of care , cleanliness and discipline that exists at the Orphanage no. 1 of Lugansk. Here the children exude happiness ... even if they have no real family tradition. They look healthy and relatively happy simply.

In the video I share with you here, the kids did a little play and it ended with a beautiful Russian song. Is this a classic song Vera? I'll call you later to find out.

Andrei is the little blonde hidden behind the left. We will surely say he was not hiding but he was fairly discreet ... !

Today I went to the orphanage and played with my two children in the very small room atenas Section Andrei. Not easy with two more. I will take a little break until Monday morning. At that time, Natalia is back to Lugansk and we will have much to do before the official release of children from the orphanage.

you soon! xxx
