It's a boy....a crying boy!

As soon as I got done post the last post, our phone rang. Go time!

 

We could hear him crying as we came off the elevator. He took one look at us and started to wail. He cried almost the entire time we were with him and had a horrified look on his face. He took the stickers we brought  but wanted no part of the toys we had. We didn't dare hold him. Tomorrow there will be no option and we hope that once we say goodbye to his orphanage staff that he will be able to calm down and get to know us.

 

It is a very good sign that he is so attached and loved by his caregivers. This should mean he will be able to attach well to us. His orphanage direcotr brought us a photo album of pictures (she worte a note in the front for him), a jump drive full of even more pictures, a chinese fan, and a large book about the orphanage. She was so kind.

 

You'll notice in his pictures, that he has a scraped nose- part of life as a boy I suppose! : )

 

We appreciate your prayers as we get him tomorrow. We will be with his orphanage director for several hours doing paperwork so it will be a slow process of saying goodbye. It is crushing to see his sad spirit and I pray that he is able to grieve and begin to relax.

 

Enjoy the pictures.
