Maks and mama

So this is a picture of me and Maks walking together outside. He is such a sweet boy, but very independent, hmmm sounds like me. When I first arrived yesterday he had a big poopy diaper they changed, I went with the caregiver and once done I reached out for Maks and he reached for me to pick him up. I asked my coordinator what she had heard from the caregivers about me, she said I got their seal of approval b/c he came to me like I am his mama. It was a short visit b/c we had to get some paperwork done in the late morning, then when we arrived it was time for lunch and he then takes a nap after lunch. Today I will see him this morning briefly then I head back home. The caregivers are very loving to the children, at least as much as they can be with so many children and some look very sick. This baby hospital is in much need of so many things, it is just such a different world here.

So on a lighter note, wanted to share a story of Maks. On my first visit he did two very cute things. He saw me blowing up the beach ball and then about an hour later he grabbed the ball and tried to blow air in it. It was so cute. Also I had been wiping his nose with the kleenex, later he found the kleenex in my bag and grabbed a peice of one and put to his nose. Oh, he is such a smart boy. I cannot wait to bring him home and start our life together.

Thanks so much for everyones support and prayers. It is so appreciated.

See ya soon.
