Fast forward to present day..... We are in the process of adopting Abe, who we now call Luke. We will hopefully finalize on Aug.9, 2007!! yay! Terry also still lives here, but we won't find out about adoption possibilities until fall. And... We are also adopting a sweet little girl from Serbia who is almost 2 years old, and has Down Syndrome!! We are very excited. We should be going to Serbia this fall sometime. We did get a bit of bad news, though. We had wanted to adopt 2 DS children from Serbia at the same time, but we got news yesterday that they were not going to allow this. :( It is ridiculous. There is no reason not to let us, other than they just have never allowed it before, and why start now. So, we'll find our next child in a different country. Or maybe right here at home. you never know. anyway, her current name is Elena, and we will call her Aunika after she gets home. Such a pretty little girl! I can't wait to snuggle her. Jacob was so precious to us, that we knew we wanted to adopt another child with DS. And Luke did 2 adorable things today I wanted to record. He came in the bathroom just as I was getting out of the shower. I had the towel around me, but my legs and feet still had water on them. Luke grabbed a clean washrag and kneeled down and started drying my legs and feet. It was so sweet. It reminded me of when Jesus washed his disciples feet. It really touched me. He was so serious about it! Then later in the day, just he and I were in the van. we were singing Popcorn Popping. Well, it was mostly a solo by me, but when I finished, Luke said "Good boy, mommy! Good boy!" it was so cute. I thanked him appropriately. Terry has had a rough week. I can't wait until visits with bio dad are done! He bit Luke on the arm tonight. He has just been extra whiney and defiant lately. Poor kid doesn't know what is going on.
