And Now For the Blog Post You’ve All Been Waiting For…

We met him!!! I thought this day would never arrive! I may be a little partial, but he is absolutely the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my entire life! We took an overnight train to Quinton’s region last night and arrived at 7:00 this morning. As soon as we got off of the train, it was go, go, go until 6:00 pm. We had to go to the social worker, notary (lawyer), and visit with the head doctor among other things. We went into the head doctor’s office and we were given some more information about him. We were told that they would bring him in momentarily and every time that door cracked, my heart jumped. My entire body was shaking and my hands and arms were numb. Finally after about the fourth knock, they brought him in. I was in absolute awe. (Yes-I cried like a baby and I am not ashamed to admit it.) I went and picked him up and it was love at first sight. We were only able to visit for about 20 minutes since we had lots more paperwork to do to get the adoption started. We were all over town for the rest of the day, but we made it back in time for an hour and a half visit this evening. It was honestly one of the best days of my life. Please, please pray that we get a court date before July 11. The SDA will be dismantling then and we must have a court date by then. This is very urgent and we would appreciate any and all prayers. We want to bring  Quinton home as soon as possible. We feel truly blessed to have such supportive friends and family and we honestly can’t thank you enough. I will leave you all with what you have been waiting for….pictures of course:

Right now Quinton is about 17 pounds and 29 inches tall. We brought 12 and 18 month outfits with us and one 6-9 month outfit from a friend. Guess which one fits??? The one and only 6-9 month outfit we have. It fits him perfectly, so I expect he will be able to wear his 12 month clothes in no time, but for now it looks like we will have to buy him a few outfits :)
