One Year Ago Today

A year ago today, Steve and I let our agency know that we were okay with switching regions to Novosibirsk. A few hours after we let them know our decision, I got the call from Steve... Mazel tov it's a BOY! Yes, we received the referral of a sweet 14 month old baby boy in Novosibirk named Andrei.



This latest news started another flurry of activity including updating paperwork, correcting my passport, and getting ready to change our lives forever. You can read the whole story on Steve's original blog of our journey. Here's a link to the July archives since it took us a few days to write posts that were coherent enough to convey how we were feeling.

Today was a typical weekend day for us, Andrei was playing outside in his sandbox and got to go swimming, we ran some errands, and spent time with the three of us together as a family. It's really hard to believe that it was just a year ago that we found out about our little guy.

Happy One Year! Hard to believe it's been that long. I didn't realize that timing was so close to your switching regions. He was meant to be your son.
