We will be meeting Terry in a couple hours. We will be seeing more of Seoul today. It is a beautiful city with great people and good, spicy food!
We can't wait until Monday. I am just worried that it is going to break little Drew's heart. He loves his foster umma so much. We prayed and prayed that he would get good care, and our prayers were answered. She is just such a great mom.
That was from David...
This is from Christine...
Shraders, you WILL NOT believe how much the baby's pictures that we got from his months with foster family look like Sammy. I am telling you, there are some that I could slip in Sammy's baby album and no one would notice!
Wish we could post the little videos we made yesterday. David made him laugh by flying him up in the air and I made him laugh with a wild game of peek-a-boo.
Sandra, I don't think I held him--isn't that terrible to say? I'm not even sure because it is all such a blur!!
Sounds as though everything is going great. Enjoy your weekend touring around--you'll never forget it. And don't worry about baby Andrew. Even if he's upset for a little while, he'll be just fine. He's lucky to have a family who wants him so much.

I am so happy for you guys. I can't wait to meet him!
ReplyDeleteHe will certainly mourn his foster mother, but you can mourn with him and hold him close during this time of transition.
Peace and hugs,

I know the other parents who have adopted babies at about the same age will give you good advice, but I'm sure that since Drew has had such a good start in life that he will recognize your love when he sees it. A baby that has known love all his life is an emotionally strong baby and will be able to transition. I will tell you what Busia told me when Sam was running around like a little Indian at 11:00 pm and Busia said that he needed to be in bed. I said, "But Busia, if I put him in bed, he'll cry." Then she said the words that changed my life (for the better!) "Honey, babies cry, it's okay." Any time you have any fears just remember that God meant for you to have this baby just as it's happening and he knows what he's doing. I CAN NOT WAIT to see those pictures of him that look so much like Sam. I am just so tickled that they look alike. I thought he did from the first time I saw his pictures. He has the same little nose and cheeks. I can remember the first time I kissed Sam's chubby little cheeks like it was yesterday and I can't wait to kiss Drew's little cheeks.
ReplyDelete...and of course they have the same eyes!
