Kissing Hannes!!

We met Hannes today 
after a 16 hour train ride to where he lives.

We are very weary.

But we are also
very 
much
in love with him.

When they brought him in to the
orphanage director's office
it was so amazing

to finally
be 
in the same room with him!

He was a bit overwhelmed
and almost started to cry
but
then we went back
to his room

back to where he is 
comfortable

and in his room
he was so happy 
to have us 
interact with him.

To hold him,
to hug him,
to kiss him,
to tickle him,
to nibble his ear,
for a wonderful 45 minutes!!

and then they took us back
to the
director's office
and asked us
"Do you want to adopt him?"

Um,
YES!!!

So now we are able to visit him
from 10-12 
and 
from 3:30 - 5:30 
each day
until we have our 
court date!

We are in love!
