Well, we have Micah! Here are a couple of pics from this morning. The one just above is Utsab with one of his 3 care givers. You could tell they loved the babies very much. The next photo above that is all of us with Anju, the orphanage director. What a remarkable woman. She runs two orphanages...Micah's and the special needs orphanage. More about that later.
Of course the two above are David and me. Micah did so well. He did not cry. He just smiled at us, showing his 4 little teeth, and played "high 5's with David. He is smaller than we expected. He seems to be such a sweet boy. When I finally picked him up from his caregiver, he quickly wrapped his little arms and legs around me and sqeezed tightly. I'm not sure if he was just afraid in general, or afraid that I might drop him. He fell asleep in the car on the way back to the hotel and has been asleep ever since...just like his daddy right next to him. I guess we'll have to wait and see how things go when "my boys" wake up. :)

David and Candice, How exciting to see this precious lttle doll. He looks so happy. I am so proud for your family, but more proud for little Micah. I know the two of you are great parents! We'll be praying that he continues to adapt. I don't think that will be a problem. Lori told me about this blog. Love, Dana
