Introducing Benjamin!

Now that we have our official acceptance from China, we can finally share some of our pictures and information about Benjamin!! 

His birthday will be next week, and he'll be turning 2.  It seems weird to think of him getting older, and us not being able to be there with him, or to have him home with us.  On the other hand, this will be his last birthday without his new family.  Hopefully we'll be travelling soon, and won't have to miss many more of the milestones in his life.

The only pictures we have of him right now are a bit old now - from July of 2011.  We haven't been able to get any new information or pictures since then, but we did find a family online who had travelled to his orphange and actually had pictures of him!   It was so good to talk to her - she had lots of information about how well the children are taken care of in his city, and that the foster families really love their kids.  As much as it's hard to be here waiting to bring him home, it's such a relief to know that his foster parents are taking good care of him.





Every time I see the pictures in the pink snowsuit, I just crack up.  I cannot wait to get him some cute little boy clothes. I'm pretty sure Brian is thanking his lucky stars that I have no idea what size he wears so I can't go shopping.......
