Since we arrived to our precious boy, Steven we have been in search and rescue, repair and recovery mode. My precious little boy although mama bought him a stuffed and animal, left him photos with pictures and a message saying we love him and will be back and the nannies told him I am going to be his mama his little mind could not wrap around that with me leaving. He just knew we loved him and told him I was going to be his mama and we all were his family then vanish we were gone just like that. The idea of paperwork and adoption dossier is not something these kiddos are familiar with and can process. When he was told before we arrived that he had a family on their way to him he shook his head no in dis-belief. So yet him being happy to see me you can see he is guarded and distant as much as he wants to reach back to me as he once did with no boundaries. So he is in survival and protective mode of his heart and I am in search and rescue mode to bring him back to repair it. He is such a smart little boy and as much as it hurts me to see him go through these emotions I am also grateful because he truly feels and these are not just motions he is going through with not true connection to me and us as a family. He has genuine feelings that are not artificial and that is why I fell in love with him. So bit by bit we are building the trust back and I am seeing my boy recover. Today he told me he was afraid I would not come back for him and he still gets scared I will leave without him and not return. Told him not a chance. So bit by bit I see my boy coming back, slow grind but getting there. The beautiful thing with this is that he is really bonding to Kolya and of course Tania. She has always been a big sister to him but the bond is there and growing with them both. So please keep our little man in your prayers for him mentally to trust that I will not leave him and for his health as we hustle to get our boy home. Praying for court next week but awaiting our official date. God is good and not wasting any time and I know his timing is perfect.......
