when I walked into an Ethiopian building and the 1st thing I saw was this little cutie in pink. Then they handed him to me and said he was my new son!!! He just looked at me, no smiles, no reaction...just looked and frowned a little....
I changed him into the outfit I had brought for him so that the orphanage could keep the clothes for another baby. He never cried or fussed, just silently watched.
He remained quietly watchful for hours...never even made a peep, until...
we went to a restaurant to eat and I gave him some of my food. He loved it and made a funny little happy sound. The group that was with us laughed because my little guy was finally responding to something.
And boy was he happy!
It’s been a year since we came home....
And today I am remembering our love story!
And what a very cute and touching love story that is! I hope to have one of those same ones someday soon (maybe five years lol)
