Alina and Will Finally Meet


Today we had to take both kids to the passport office for pictures. Luiba brought Will from Krivyi Rih and I brought Alina from Dnipro. We met in Dnipropetrovsk. When Will saw me he smiled and actually gave me a hug. Yeah progress!



Alina was shy, of course, and wouldn't talk to Will but I have never seen her smile so much. Who can help it around Will. He was singing and talking to me and eventually he warmed up enough to Alina to show her animals on my phone. She couldn't help but laugh at him. She was happy to see him, I could see it all over her face.

  5. Oh, how precious! I have goosebumps all over! She'll probably always miss her best friend at the orphanage, but I bet it won't be long until she can't imagine her life without Will. What a wonderful blessing! I'm so happy they get to be together! They are both so beautiful! Tell Mary "Hi"! Shelby
