I have to catch up, and read and comment on your last few posts. But I am happy to be the first to comment on this one!

Wow.
I think I might be speechless and you know that NEVER happens with me.

You are in love! Look this photo! Look at that little boy.

WOW.

That's all I got.
I'm so thrilled for you.
Can't wait to read the rest.
Amazing.
Love you.

I'm SO happy for technology right now. It's just awesome that we can all see this happening as it goes.

was this in his foster mother's house?
Were you actually able to sleep enough the night before to look so beautiful and alive, or is it pure adrenaline? =)

And i know you're kind of busy, but DETAILS!
I'm assuming you didn't leave with him, from what you explained to me before you left.
Have you stopped crying without him? WHEN do you get to bring him with you? how long were you there? how's his foster mother? and your Mom? and COULD he be ANY cuter? No ma'am. =)

I need more. Take your time. But hurry about it.
I'm crying.
