We are still trying to decide on a name for our little guy. We are debating between:
Zaid or Zade, McKai, Maddox, or Kyan.
They are all African names but not so far out there. His name is Henok right now and we will probably leave that as a middle name. Let me know your input.
His 2nd birthday is tomorrow, April 14th. Oh my heart is breaking. This is so hard for me because I just want to have him home having a big birthday party. It makes me sad to think that he will not even know it is his birthday and will have no presents to open. I bought him a couple of outfits, a blanket, a lightning McQueen car, and a ball but then I thought how sad it would be for all of the other kids to see him get all this stuff, so our agency said they would send a photo album and his blanket to him from us. It is super expensive to send things over to him and they send stuff every week. We are hoping we will have him in August but realistically it will probably be in Oct. The whole country closes for the month of Sep.
My friend Marianne is throwing a cyber birthday party for him. Check out her Extraordinary Housewives blog (on my list) for details. Thanks Mare you are the best!!

Hey babe! Email me your address and will send you that adoption CD!! My email is ktjyoung@gmail.com
Also, are you still going to do fund raising through your bowtique? If so I want to buy some and also I want to do a post on my blog about it!! Let me know and I will get going!
Wow! So I haven't checked blogs in a while, but I certainly wasn't expecting this when I started reading your blog tonight. Congratulations! I know exactly how you feel about knowing he is yours and loving him as only a mother can.
Adoption is truly an amazing and very difficult journey, but I wouldn't have it any other way. It is the means by which our family was always meant to be created. Good luck with the rest of this process. International adoptions are more difficult because of the waiting periods. We will be thinking of you!
