The Reunion At Last

April 15, 2010

Off we went to see Dylan at the orphanage from 9:30 to 11:30. Wow! When he saw me and approached me he was so scared and crying softly cause I had my pinch and I hadn’t shaved. It really made me feel bad inside but I could understand the situation. So it was kind of the beginning of the first time when we met him at bonding period, where Dylan was analyzing us and wasn’t so sure about us. It was a little discouraging but we tried to be as positive as possible. Mary began crying as soon as we drove up in front of the orphanage and when we all went upstairs to his room she began crying a lot when she saw him. Nathalie was also crying with her, it was very emotional!!!! The caregivers and Medet felt really bad.

We went for supper with Nathalie, Jeremy and Becky (from Philadelphia) and Randy and Marsha (from Wisconsin) who are all in the process of adopting. We really had a nice time and it was a real good distraction after the day we had.
