Sorry I have not posted but it is very difficult to get connections here. I keep trying but sometimes it works, other times no luck so bare with me.
Isaac is doing great. He has really come around to us and is making good eye contact. He is cooing and laughing. When we first picked him up from the orphanage he held his arms and legs tight into his body in the fetal position and I was a little concerned about it. He would not let you pull his arms straight or open his hands. It was very sad. He is now playing patty-cake and kicking his legs. Its amazing what a little stimulation can do.
Here is the first picture that was taken of Isaac the moment I walked through the orphanage door. It's a little blurry since I was shaking like crazy. He is held by the head nounou.
Isaac laying on the orphanage floor. How perfect is he?
Isaac and mommy moments after meeting each other.
Although the orphanage was very clean is was a very sad sight. All the babies were either in hammocks or laying on straw mats in cribs. They just lay there. All their heads are flat from not being moved around. And they all smelled of pee. The diapers were rags tied around their waist with a piece of string. The good thing about it though (because I need to think of the good) was most of the children had families waiting for them or would soon be eligible for adoption. Just before we arrived the was a baby girl just 3 hours old abandoned at the orphanage. She must not have been more then 4lbs. Sooo tiny.
I will try to post again as soon as I can.
