This morning I was unable to see the little man because I had to take care of some paperwork. The papers I signed today will officially begin the process of me bringing him home. We still have a lot of work to do and this will take several months, but I made the decision that I want to adopt this boy and bring him home; so the next step in the process has begun.
The little man and I had a much better visit this afternoon than yesterday. He was happy and playful. The only problem was he was most happy about a couple of cars I borrowed from Michael & Jennifer. I had to return the cars to them which meant taking them away from him when I was getting ready to leave, let the crying begin. I gave him a cookie to ease the pain of loosing the cars, he stopped crying and took the whole bag of cookies, and apparently he was not leaving me empty handed! He waved victoriously as he walked down the hall away from me.
Tomorrow I will see him once more before I leave for Moscow. I couldn’t very well leave him without a car of his very own. Before dinner we walked over to the toy store and got him a little red car, he will be a happy boy tomorrow.
Have a good night. Chris

I have tears in my eyes. I'm so glad you are moving on to the next phase. Good luck leaving tomorrow. It's going to be hard! I hope your trip home is smoother than your trip there. I can't wait to hear more!

Congratulations on making this important decision! Don and I are very happy for you. We both continue to pray for you, and hope that the remainder of this journey will go smoothly, and you will soon be rewarded for all of your efforts by bringing your Little Man home to play with his precious red car in his own room. I for one, will celebrate that day! Don says he will bring the iced vodka!!!
