Finally, yesterday, I got the photos. And he looks absolutely gorgeous
One of the photos is the official photo taken in the end of April, this year. He has a funny look on his face. He’s not smiling, though. He looks straight into the camera and looks like he is quite curious about the thing – and maybe a little worried about what’s going to happen. It’s nice to see the whole of him, and not only face and chest. My mom said: “Oh, he’s so big!” And I said: “Yes, 2 years old usually is!” It was so strange and so nice, at the same time, to look at the photos for the first time. He didn’t look like anyone else and it took me some time (a few minutes….) to get used to the fact that this is my son. And now I hardly can do anything but look at the photos. He’s getting more and more cute each time!!

I also got three photos of him, taken by another family while they was down there in late June for their own son. Those photos are the most precious, both because they are more recent but also because they are far better than the official one. He’s not smiling on those either, but he looks straight into the camera with an open and curious look. Boy, do he have some beautiful dark brown eyes!!

I so want to show you all how beautiful he is, but since I’m not legally his mother just yet, I simply am not allowed. So that’ll wait till later! Yesterday I accepted him and today I’ll send a paper with my signature saying the same thing. Today my representer in Etiophia will ask the judge if he can please take this cases even though their vacation starts on Friday. If the judge accept I’ll leave for Etiophia in late September, if not probably in November. My hope is for the first!!!
