The day started by Kelly waking up at 4:30 am, "I wanna look out the window." At 6:30 am we decided we get moving. After showering and eating breakfast, we were on our way. The first thing on the agenda was the referral appt. The whole referral appointment lasted about 15 minutes & probably 8 of it was spent waiting our turn. Little A's picture greeted us & it was official! We could now go to the baby house. It was very intense, next was meeting with director of the baby house, then the doctor and finally Little A. The director gave us information on his personal history and some info regarding his current well being. We were then shuffled to another room where we met with the baby house doctor who broke the news that - he JUST got over the chicken pox! We would see a green topical treatment on him & that is their own house recipe for something like calamine lotion. The director had told us that he was a very happy boy & that the staff all agree on that. After the doctor was finished, we were shuffled off to another room where we finally were greeted by Little A. One of the staff workers brought him in & he never cried once. He looked at us inquisitively and somewhat cautious, but warmed up very quick and before you knew it - we were all playing together : ) He walks with guidance & support and it definitely will not be long before he's walking on his own! He gets around really well & he is indeed a very happy boy! And just like his PapPap Miller "uh,uh" - he grunts a little tiny "uh" quite frequently! Tomorrow we will visit him two times, with a break in between for nap time. And most likely we will visit our first Russian "Mahkdonald'c."
Note: To insure everyone & every institution's privacy that is involved with Little A's adoption - we will not be posting any pictures or emailing either.
