Two Years Ago

This is the first video that we had of Joseph...it was the video that gave us the courage to adopt a 10 y.o. boy. His photos were not as friendly looking.

 He said that he knew he had a family about 3 months before we came, but had given up hope that we would show up.

         One morning we boarded a jet plane (well first it was a little one) then a big plane and many long  hours later.....

        We felt like the doorman in the background. We had one night's sleep and needed to meet the guide at 7AM to be off to meet Joseph.

                                           We were early so we had to sit outside the gate for awhile.   

            We were finishing up paperwork and suddenly he was in the same room!

Wonder what was going through his head?

            Not the clearest pictures, but he does not do well with posing.
