Gosh, I guess I either didn't post this while in Ethiopia or I didn't make it as big a deal as it is.
Robel was born AUGUST 1, 2000! This was confirmed to us by his biological brother, Tedi. We are thrilled to know his age and will not try to have him proven to be younger...he is just small. If you view the photos of he and his brother...I am several inches taller than Tedi. I am 5'9".
Anyway, I am about to have a 9 year old! Very odd since he is Deonna's size and she is 5.

What a cool picture!
ReplyDeleteHe's just barely older than Medina. She was 5 on paper when she came home last summer and we were able to find her real age and she turns 9 Oct 2. She's not even on the charts for her age but developmentally, she's right there.
ReplyDeleteHi Mindy. What a beautiful little boy congratulations. It looks like he really loves being in your family. I just found a blog through a friend of mine of a couple who really want to adopt. I don't think they have been successful yet. I thought I could give her your blog address for inspiration and in case she has any questions for you. Here is hers if you want to check it out. I think it's still a work in progress. http://shumwayadoption.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteCongratulations again. And it sounds like you'll even have a built in babysitter before you know it! Hehe.
He is teeny but oh so sweet!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to meet him! I think he & Zach would play nicely together.
