I received confirmation that Misha's adoption went through and that he is already with his new family. Praise the Lord! I know that the wait can be hard. When kids are waiting to be adopted or are unsure of their status, they sometimes become withdrawn. It's like they don't want to invest any more energy in current relationships or activities since they are going to be leaving (I can relate!). When you have a clearer timeframe, it is easier to treasure your last moments with people. But when you don't know, it can be very confusing.
Welcome to the U.S., Misha!

ReplyDeleteHip hip hooray!
ReplyDeleteLola has spoken with Misha on several occasions now and you should see her face when she talks to him! She loves him very much and is so happy he finally has a family to call his own!
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful! I'm glad those kids will be able to maintain that connection from their childhood as they grow up.
