Hello blog friends! I’m sorry I haven’t posted already. We’re in a different part of the hotel this time around, and our internet doesn’t seem to be working as well. I’ve been trying to upload pictures for two days now, and it’s just SUPER slow and gets stuck every time. I just wanted to let everyone know that we made it here safely and that we’re enjoying our time with Yohannes!!! I’ll update more details later when our internet service is better, but he was really glad to see us yesterday. He saw us in the van and came RUNNING! It was amazing! We had a great day yesterday, a little rough time last night at bed time, and we’re having another great day today. He is WONDERFUL and seems to be bonding with us really well. He’s picking up on English faster than we expected and has already learned his brothers’ names. It melts my heart completely to hear him say, “mommy!” We had our Embassy appointment this afternoon, and everything went well. I got a little choked up when the man behind the counter had us raise our right hands and made sure we understood that the adoption is final and that it’s hard to be “undone.” Yohannes has been our son legally since August 4th, but something about today made it really seem official (even though it already was). We love him to pieces and can’t wait to bring him home! I’ll keep trying to post pictures, and I can’t wait to share more about him and our trip when I get a chance and some decent internet!
