Miles has grown so much. He is a happy, well-adjusted, funny, smart, curious little boy. He is talking up a storm...he's our human sponge. His eyes will light up a room, not to mention everyone's hearts.
After reading back at the posts from last year. Our hearts were hurting. We were struggling with patience and the unknown. We were beginning to lose it. And then, we got a little glimpse of hope. It was one year ago yesterday, September 10, 2011, that our referral to Miles was received by the Ministry. Our 6 month deadline was September 11th. Talk about a close call!
So, this time a year ago, Miles was a part of our family, but we wouldn't find out until the 23rd...
More to come later this month. Here are two more recent photos of Mr. Miles.

I hope I'm not being inappropriate in asking this, but did your son go by the name Moses in Rwanda? Our son (adopted from the same orphanage) apparently had two friends in the orphanage who also were adopted and the sisters told us one was named Moses (or Moise... it was difficult to know exactly what the name was because of their accent). So I was just wondering if your little guy was him. Anyways, I'm so glad that you posted an update and that he's doing well--he looks like such a happy little guy :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Juanita! His given name is Ignatius and they would call him Naci. When did you adopt your son?
ReplyDeleteHe was referred to us early October, but because of our government, we weren't able to pick him up until this past May (arg). It was a long shot but worth a try--thanks so much for letting me know!
