This special booklet is specially designed for adoption travelers to Russia and Eastern Europe!
Small enough to fit in a purse or backpack (8" x 5"), this handy 30-page booklet includes common words and phrases needed by both general travelers to China and especially adoptive parents. (Imagine a language guide that includes such valuable phrases as:
- "I adopted this baby."
- "I am your mommy/daddy."
- "Where does it hurt?"
- "Time for sleep."
- "Don't be afraid."
- "No MSG"
- "Do you need to potty?"
In addition, you'll also find many adoption-specific words like orphanage, immunization record, foster parent, Power of Attorney, skin rash, hepatitis, and disposable needle.
All of the words and phrases are provided in English as well as transliterated Russian, so that you can pronounce them, and with their Russian "Cyrillic" Characters so that you can point to them. There is also a short paragraph in Russian on the back cover that you can show to introduce yourself and your adoption to Russian people you meet.
Spiral-bound, it's divided into 9 page-tabbed sections:
- Pronunciation
- Basics
- Dining
- Getting Around
- Money & Shopping
