I am delighted to announce that I have written a new article and it's been posted on adoption.com:
It recounts my journey to adopt my son Michael and tells a bit about his first year home.
They couldn't use all the photos I sent, for space reasons, but below is the first photo I ever saw of Michael, which was on the adoption agency's website:
The trips to Kazakhstan were fascinating and exhausting. I felt like I was in a different world. Below, the courthouse in Petropavlovsk. As a paralegal, I've been in many courthouses but never a bright blue one.
Below that, Michael on the main street, which is really lovely and there are no cars. The bottom shot is the same street from a different vantage point a few weeks earlier, when snow was everywhere.
At home, it was a different story. Michael helped in the kitchen and in the garden, and got used to life with three females, and one canine female!
He learned to ride a bike and got to play soccer, and later tennis.
Below, some more recent shots.
Check out the book, The Michael Chronicles, on Amazon.
