Not What We Expected, but Still So Good.

Wow! The last two days have been intense, and it honestly feels like we have been gone a week. The "meeting" with the two sides occurred yesterday. It was an hour long, and we were pretty drained after. It was not in our favor, per-say, but we do still get our precious boy, we are just going to have to be patient while the paperwork is finished. We wish we could explain, but just know that someday the complete story will be shared, when C is ours for good. We stayed down an extra night to relax, and just have a little couple time, because it is coming quickly to an end. We are hoping that we do not have to wait longer than a week, maybe two at the most, to be able to bring him home. When he was placed in our arms today, it was the most humbling experience. He will be ours, but right now he is with the nicest and sweetest couple. They are taking AMAZING care of him, and he is truly happy. He is the cutest, smiliest little guy. He loves to be cuddled and snuggled, and were more than obliging for the time we got to be with him. It is killing Mike not to be able to openly share the pictures, but just know he has a ton of dark hair, he is short and chubby, and he really just melts your heart. We smothered him with kisses and loves, got to change his diaper a whopping three times, and even got to feed him. His "Mom" and "Dad", (they will forever be the parents who took care of him and loved him first until he does come home with us) are so wonderful, made a scrapbook for us of his first few weeks, have the clothes he came home in for us, and have videos and cd's of pictures for us. We could not ask for better first parents. Thank-you for the prayers. We absolutely could feel the peace and we were able to be strong. Our prayers are now directed to seeing that the paperwork comes through quickly and we can get everything completed to have him with us as soon as possible. We will update, as soon as we know anything!
