An excerpted chapter from her forthcoming book,
Coming to America, A Russian Woman's Experience by Inna McNeill

Transitional Stress
Written by Inna McNeill

My name is Inna Serebryakova (my married name is Inna McNeill). I am a Russian woman who came here to the USA at age 37 with my 13 y.o. daughter in August 1998 and married to an American man from Eugene, Oregon http://arussianromance.com/inna.htm
I own and operate "A Russian Romance" matchmaking agency in Russia and in the USA (from July 1999), and men often ask me how a "Russian woman" will adapt to life in the United States or Canada. I personally know the stress of coming here in the same situation as these women, and of course every day I counsel many women who are married through our agency and live in the USA and other western countries. There is no standard "Russian woman" but still we can make some generalizations. I will use the USA for my examples as the majority of my clients are US citizens. But the same suggestions apply for almost all western countries.
