It has taken a few days for me to get enough time to write this post but I feel it is important. In response to the tragedy of a 7 year old child being sent alone to Russia by his adoptive mother, parents have been asked to show the positive side of international adoption. Unfortunately, negative outcomes get more media attention. This is one way to show the world that most international adoptions have good outcomes.
Our boys are doing so well. Daniyar learns new words and phrases daily. He is starting to get comfortable enough with us to melt down sometimes but that too is progress. He was learning so well he was moved to the 4 year old class at preschool. He loves to be outside and asks to go out within 10 minutes of waking up every day. We spend a lot of time at the park. We went to Kings Island amusement park this weekend and he loved the train and the bumper cars the most.
Collin has had a very good week at home. He seems to have discovered the joy of entertaining Daniyar and now uses his silliness to keep Daniyar laughing. He continues to love to draw and we registered for Kindergarten this fall. He is excited about our upcoming trip to Baton Rouge to Aunt Libby's house to see the Gray family and the Bonar family.
We are the truth. Sometimes the transition is hard but these kids are the joy of our lives. Jacqueline
