Received Jude this morning! He cried initially, slow quiet tears. Broke my heart. He was told we were his mama and baba, and he said he just wanted to go home with the nanny. Jim busted out the iPhone, and has emerged himself in it off and on since. He comes up for air every once in awhile , to eat, to play with balloons or work a puzzle. Owen showed him his new toothbrush, and Jude promptly took it, went to the bathroom and brushed his teeth. :)
He wants to be called Sub Yong, for now, so we'll roll with it and see how it turns out.
Pics below, gotta go! Owen likes him, but is disappointed that Jude doesn't understand him.
Special shout out to Caleb Hamlin! You prayed for this boy, and The Lord granted you your prayer:) lots of love coming your way!
PS we haven't been able to get the air below 75 degrees in the room, and its super humid....yeah, I'm loving it.
Oh my gosh, Elizabeth!!!!!!! I am in tears!!!! I could hardly read this to Caleb because of the happy tears!!!!! Oh Elizabeth, I am so, so happy for you all and the fact that Jude was well loved is just awesome! It will take some time but this will help so much in long term bonding! Elizabeth, thank you so, so much for sending that awesome message to Caleb!! It meant so much to him and to me! What a way to show him how awesomely the Lord answers earnest prayer! Thank you sweet friend!!! I will be praying for sweet Jude's heart! SO WONDERFUL!!!!
