Ruben





Well, two weeks and closing into our journey to Colombia. I thought I would attach the latest picture we have of Ruben. He is in the same clothes as the last picture we recieved, but his hair is all shaved off. He is still smiling, so this is a good sign. Tonight we had our 2hr phone call meeting with our adoption agency. I didn't think it would actually take two hours, but it went the whole time. Pretty much a run down of paperwork we needed, and step by step process of the general routine, but this is an international adoption and in a different country. Things are bound to be a little off routine. Tracey and I are excited, scared, and nervous all at the same time. We are looking forward to meeting our new son, but yet sad to leave our girls and family behind. It kind of reminds me of college, and studying and stuffing as much information into my brain as possible before the test. The difference, is in college you took the test and then could talk to someone in english about it. This will be a 5 week test with not many people speaking the same language to ask how you are doing afterwards.
