It's true, a whole month dedicated to Adoption Awareness. Here is just one of many, many sites that has some history and tips on how to observe adoption in November as well as year round. http://national-adoption-month.adoption.com/

home 3 weeks

It’s been 3 weeks and it’s hard to imagine life without Parker. Things have been going great; he is adjusting well and is a very happy baby. He is meeting new people all the time and going places. He already has a very busy social life. He loves the beach, going for walks around the neighborhood, brushing his teeth and playing with the dogs. He turned 10 months old today! He has changed so much already and has a great personality. He is still fussing at naps, bedtime and wakes up during the night for a bottle but over all sleeping much better. He had his first doctor appointment and that went well, he is 19.4 lbs and very healthy, other than the cold we all had. He is crawling all over the house, and will probably be walking before his first birthday. We can tell he’s going to be trouble already.

Visa!

Parker had his Visa Interview and was issued his Visa! All we are waiting for now is a phone call from our social worker telling us that he's ready to come home and the flight details! Our baby will be home very soon.
