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!
