We pulled up to the baby house a cute yellow building with a short fence and three play grounds, a cute place. we buzz the door and a man opens it, they give us booties to put over our shoes to not track dirt in. (wish I had them for my daycare room) then we went down a long hallway, they make us wait what seems like forever but then take us to a room full of toys and 4 little wood tables and 4 wood chares at each table, there are two doors off this room one leads to another playroom the other to the back room with sinks and changing area. We sit down on a little sofa and wait, they tell us they are taking the kids to get a flu shot and its his turn. so in a few min we see them walk thru the room with 3 children one was Josiah. then about 5 min later they come back . They bring him over to us and I picked him up and kissed him all over and felt his little face, he giggled and loved it. we spent the next hour getting to know him, playing with him. he giggled every time the flash went off on the camera. it was a great 1st meeting. Then it was time to eat so they came in and told us it was time to go.we said bye bye and then had to go meet with the doctor. she told us all about Josiah from birth till now. his sizes how he grew what illnesses he had so on and she came to the part where she said he had just had a full body exam and that there was no longer a heart problem, there was also three other medical problems he had had even back in march that were no longer there. I teared up because I have been praying for the Lord to heal his insides and he did thank you Lord.
Then after the dr was done we had to go talk to the head lady, she gave his history about his parents. we even got to see pictures of them. they both signed the papers giving him up the day he was born. that is good because that means that is already done for court. it ends up he has a 19 year old brother but no other siblings .
It was a lot of info to take in for one day but it was great. we signed the papers to agree to adopt him at that moment.

Ohhhh MY! OK. Here are my first thoughts:
1)No one will ever wonder if this boy is adopted. Could he look any more like your son? I don't think so.
2) He has a smile that will light up every room he walks into.
3)It is NOT going to be hard for his family to fall in love with him.
4) It's fun to finally see pictures of you two! :)
and finally,
5) I'm so glad you guys got to go first!
Oh, and one more. I'm surprized he's wearing shorts! Do they not bundle them up in layers all winter like they do in Ukraine? This is good to see!

5)I wish you would have gone first so you could have been the one giving me all the tips on what to do and not do lol but I'm so happy I'm here it will be your turn soon.
and about the shorts I think it is just because it is so hot in the rooms.can't wait to see what he is wearing tomorrow. I hope it's nice so we can take him out to play on the playground.
So happy for you, and even more happy for Josiah!!
