YIPEE!!! NEWS!!! Hays and I will be heading to Rwanda on Halloween (I think we'll leave the US on the 30th)! So, for Halloween this year I will be dressed up as a crazy blubbering white mother of five with jet lag who is meeting her six year old son for the first time!
Ruk DOES know that he is being adopted (he actually thought we would be coming to get him this summer--poor guy). I'm not sure what he feels about being adopted, but he does know. He will be finishing up his school year the last week of October, so the timing will be perfect. He has been learning English all semester and I'm sure he'll pick it up quickly.
My contact in Rwanda has met Ruk and she says that he is a sweet and tender boy. She said that he is very adorable and that he is very tall and skinny. She is going to get me his profile as soon as she can so that I can know all kinds of things about my boy! I cannot wait!
She will be doing much of the leg work for me before I arrive, so my trip should only last about ten or eleven days (including my stay in Ethiopia)! That sure beats the three plus weeks that I had to stay with Gabby!
I am so excited! I have lots to do before I leave! I need to update my home study to show that we live in Colorado now (oops) and I need to make sure that the US Immigration office also knows that we have moved across the country and changed jobs.
I will keep you all posted as I learn more details about my boy! YIPEE!!!
