One of the many amazing things you get to experience during adoption is the kindness of strangers. It's unbelievable how many lovely people you've never met and probably never will meet in person reach out to you via the internet and email to offer encouragement, prayers, and information. I can't imagine what it would have been like to go through this process prior to the availability of the net. It must have been a very lonely experience.
Thanks to the kindness of strangers who recently traveled to the House of Hope, we received a couple Spud updates yesterday and today that have eased my mind. One wrote, "Your son Ermias is a handsome little guy. He is quiet and content to play by himself. He likes to explore and figure stuff out. When he smiles at you it's like being given a gift."
Another shared, "I am sure you will intuitively give your son everything he needs at the right time. I too found him intense and serious. Ever watchful of all that is going on around him. He is beautiful boy. And as serious as he is he stands right in the center of all the activity sometimes...although not necessarily partaking, certainly not fearful, just right in the mix."
And Noelle's note in the "Comments" section of the last post was wonderful to read.
So...he plays. He watches. He SMILES.
We're blessed.
Thank you, friends.

Oh, doesn't it feel good to have any little bit of information to make you feel closer to him? He is being prepared for you, even as you are being prepared for him. God's timing is perfect and I know that little guy will find healing in your arms!
I'm so happy those families were able to share those words with you! I am so excited for your sweet boy to come home!
