It all happened so quickly.
We got to Acacia Village and 2 minutes later we were walking up the 2 flights of stairs onto a open outside balcony in the shade. There were 4 other families present and 3 seconds later the nannies handed each of our children to us. I was busy catching video and photos while Heidi held our son for the first time.
We got about 2 hours with Moses and got to nursery, talk to the nannies and talk to the nurse.
Time passed too quickly. It was so good to focus on our son and we will always remember day 1 of our time with our son.
Seeing the other families hold and care for their children was also a wonderful gift. So much time and energy has preceded these moments and it was a joy to share this life-changing experience with them.
We are headed back there this morning for some more time with our son. He is a little guy. He has definitely improved since the first pictures we received of him back on October 1st...so we were thrilled and overjoyed about that.
We were able to give him a bottle while we were there and he drank a full 7 oz. of formula. They don't have him started on any solid foods as of yet...but my guess is that will occur shortly.
Today is Thursday and then tomorrow is our court date.
I slept in longer this morning...4 am instead of 2 am.
My heart and understanding is continually reminded of the great love to which the love of the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God, adopted as his children and heirs of the Living God.
