I had been on various international sites for a few years and made several trips to Ukraine and been disappointed and even no-showed several times. A translator for one site even told me privately the pretty girls were just bait and the agency would pull a switch. Then in July of 2011 I re-activated my profile on Elena's Models because I had corresponded with one girl there who seemed real. In early August Natasha wrote me asking "Is your heart still free?" We skyped and before the end of September I was deep in Siberia arriving at midnight wondering if she was really going to meet me at the airport. For our second visit we met in Turkey. Natasha likes to walk around old archaeological sites like I do, and hike in the mountains. After that trip, I proposed and we started the visa paperwork. I made several more trips. In October of 2012 she arrived in the USA, and in November we were married. As I write this in April of 2014, Natasha is 4 months pregnant with our first child, and I am freshly amazed by her every day!
