I met Judah!
Oh my he is so skinny! I fed him right away so he already likes me! We had him with us to get the passport picture so it wasn't your typical meeting but I loved spending time with him. They ad dressed him up in a shirt and tie with black shorts and blue butterfly shoes! Yes they use whatever clothes they have and he knows no different but for us it was funny. He is so sweet and handsome but not at all shy. He was going through the desks at the passport office and got into the workers food! She gave him some and that fueled him to get into more things.
Then we met some Americans and he about crawled through their window into their car. But he will obey if he understands what you are saying. He talks to us but we have no idea what he is saying. That part is a bummer.
Tomorrow we get a real visit with him and I will be bringing him food, gotta fatten that boy up! I'll try to post pics tomorrow. I don't know hw to do it on my iPad so maybe Jim will help me. We are off to eat and get supplies. Thank you for all the prayers we feel so blessed by them. I just gotta tell you I'm so thankful that God as given us Judah. Meeting him I even more saw how much he needed a mama and papa! The orphanage is super nice but it is not a loving environment. There are people there that care for sure but not in the affectionate way one cares for their child. Hard to put into words without criticizing which I don't want to do since he has not been neglected.
Okay off to the store to buy contraband food or my son!

ReplyDeleteSherrie, when he gets home and has a few good ol' Happy Meals, he'll plump right up like the rest of us pudgy Americans, lol. Can't wait to see the pics, and especially in a couple months from now too!
