Today we got to meet our boys. The oldest has dark hair with green/blue eyes. The younger is blonde hair with green/blue eyes. Both are developmentally delayed as expected, but do not seem to have any other difficulties. After intense medical review and physical tests the doctor sees both of them as good and ready to be adopted.Meeting Igor for the first time.

Igor did not like the toy.

Meeting Sasha for the first time.

It appeared the boys did not like us right away. As soon as the caregivers walked into the room with them they started crying. However, neither orphanage had a play room for us to meet them. We met them in the medical room where they get their shots and medical care. I believe the boys were crying because they remember that room as being unpleasent. It really made it hard to assess how they interact with others.

The boys seem to be well attached to their caregivers. This is good because it means they should attach well to us once we get them home. They are not used to seeing men so Kelly scared them a bit. It was nap time when we went to see the oldests so he fell asleep on my shoulder. We feel good about bringing these little ones home and can't wait for trip 2.
