Adam is HOME!!!!!

Well, it's been 3 1/2 months since we first met Adam and now he is finally home. We picked him up from the airport this afternoon and he was amazing. He was all smiles (and was apparently the same way on the flights ... he made lots of friends). He is much more active then when we saw him last in mid-January. He has three teeth (he had the very beginning of one in January). We changed him from his two layers of thick clothes to one short-sleeved romper and a thin pair of socks. He seemed thrilled to get out of the hot clothes. When we got him home, he found his feet! I don't think he saw them often in Kazakhstan because there, one pair of socks isn't enough. He needs footies on his pants and at least one pair of socks ... two if you take him out of his play room in the baby house.

He ate some apricot mush and eventually went to sleep, where he is now. A word to the wise ... don't go lifting the covers to show people how cute his outfit is when he's sleeping ... he may wake up!

Now here's what you are all waiting for ... pictures. Enjoy!

Congratulations! It's nice not only to find you online after all these years, but to do so and have this wonderful news come along with it. I would wish you all the best, but it looks like it already came true!

congrats on getting your sweet son home!

Leeza will NOT leave shoes or socks on..they go off the car, and even on long walks in the stroller when it's cold outside...i think she likes the freedom of free tootsies. :)

We are so delighted for you -- we have been following the saga. I'll let our kids know they have a new first cousin twice removed (I think that's right). Love, Mady and Michael
