A fabulous woman just gave me GREAT news today - she was able to hold and play with and love on Malakai!!! AHH!!! Someone that I have "talked to" online actually held our child! It gives me goosebumps all over and when I first read her email I just broke down crying. I mean - he is REAL! and in Ethiopia - waiting for US to come get him. She said he smiles a lot and is very responsive. He eats well, likes his tummy time and she doesn't remember him crying at all.. Kai was in the crib right next to her baby, so she got to see him everyday.. I am one happy mommy right now. I just can't wait to see him for myself

Wow you brought me back to the days when my friends were traveling to bring their children home and would send me pictures of Max and tell me all about him.
I remember the joy you feel and it is SO awesome and I am so glad for you and Ben to be experiencing this moment fully and richly.
He will be home soon and we are all so looking forward to seeing your family as three.
XOXO
OH, that is so exciting! I remember that feeling too...Shock that they are ACTUALLY really real and you are going to see him yourself very soon. I am beyond happy for you. :)
Too fun! Maybe I will get to sneak a peek at him, too, while I'm there. I'm sure Kai and Dinkeneh are best friends ;). WE ARE ALMOST THERE!!!
How exciting! I can't wait until you get travel dates so we can read about YOU holding him!
I am all teary eyed now! I got goose bumps for you to....love you! I am soooooooo excited...yea!!!
Quinn says..."He's so funny with that little cute face...!" "And He's so cute." "I'm happy that you got a little boy that's so adorable." Love Quinny
Hey Virginia! I just got this email and went to your blog. I am so happy for you guys! And he is adorable. When do you get him? This is all so exciting. Take care and I am so happy for you again...you both are the best and deserve this.
Take care,
