About a month ago, my caseworker mentioned a child that was
on their webpage, but when I looked at his picture and read about his needs, I
just didn’t feel he was my son. A few
weeks ago, I saw some updated pictures and learned there was updated information
in his file. He kept popping up in
different places and I finally decided that I should look at his file. Watching the videos, seeing the new pictures
and reading the medical information convinced me that I really needed to
consider this child. I had a doctor
review the file and give me an idea of what he would need if I were to bring
him home. I couldn’t stop thinking about
this little boy and finally realized that it was time to say “yes”. I am working on the paperwork to bring him
home and I should be travelling to China sometime in March!
Unfortunately, I can’t share his picture, but I can tell you
he turned 2 in November and he’s absolutely adorable! I’ll spend the next few months working on
more paperwork and making plans for doctor visits once he’s home. I will also be preparing his big brother for
some really big changes that he won’t completely understand until there’s
actually another little boy in the house all the time.
I think 2016 is going to be a great year for us!
