    Morris and Becky were delighted when finally their long wait to adopt a baby came to an end.
    The adoption1 center called and told them they had a wonderful Russian baby boy, and the couple took him without hesitation2...
    On the way home from the adoption center, they stopped by the local college so they each could enroll3 in night courses.
    After they filled out the form, the registration4 clerk inquired, "What ever possessed5 you to study Russian?"The couple said proudly, "We just adopted a Russian baby and in a year or so he'll start to talk. We just want to be able to understand him."
