A year ago on March 6
a judge declared
that Hannes
was our son.
So much we have been through
this year -
Hannes has had open heart surgery
to repair his congenital heart defect
which turned out to be
just a bit more than we had anticipated...
Hannes has had many months of
Physical Therapy
Occupational Therapy
Feeding Therapy
Speech Therapy
Pediatric Cardiology appointments
Pediatric Urology appointments
Pediatric Dentist appointment...
Urological surgery to correct a
congenital defect
which turned out to be
just a bit more than we had anticipated...
But through it all
he has grown -
5 inches
and
5 pounds -
and he has
advanced a year in his
cognitive functions
and he is slowly learning
what a family is
what love is
what security is
what fun is
exploring his world
exploring relationships
learning
growing
figuring out how to love...
a year ago
he was an orphan
but this year
he is loved and cherished
a son
a brother
a nephew
a grandson
he has a place in the world
he belongs
and we love him so!
Happy Adoption Day Hannes Ruslan!
