Jeff and Tamara
 

Over the years, I tried a number of methods to find my love, including many dating services. I found only American women who were torn between the roles created by our society, those who were psychologically battered, or those just plain undesirable. I had a dream and was not willing to compromise it to a relationship that was less than my ideal. I decided to correspond with women overseas to find a compatible partner.

Tamara’s description (17-K35) in the Scanna catalog was just what I wanted: "Calm, faithful, caring, feminine, and fond of children." And I felt I could meet her requirements and make her happy.

We wrote to each other for 7 months, exchanging dozens of letters. Then, I traveled to Riga, Latvia to visit her and her family for 10 days. I had a fairly clear understanding of her and traveled to her with serious, but cautious, intentions.

On the fourth day of our meeting, I proposed! I knelt before her on one knee; told her I thought we could have a wonderful life together; and asked her to marry me. Needless to say, she said yes!

I returned to the U.S. and immediately filed for the fiancee visa. I returned to Latvia 6 months later, then traveled to Poland with her to get the visa. She then returned to the U.S. with me. After 2 months in the U.S., we were married. Now, we have been married for 6 months. She is exceeding my dreams.

As far as advice goes to those of you considering finding a wife overseas . . . first, don’t lose your head. The most attractive women may not make the best partners. Keep in mind what characteristics are important. Be cautious, but also be honest, warm, and caring. Ask a lot of questions in your letters and be honest with what you write. Don’t let a difference in language stop you from meeting someone wonderful. She will learn English quickly.

And last: courage and perseverance will bring you happiness.
