Yesterday was not a completely sad day. We had our court hearing for the re-adoption of CavSon. Since only CavWife went to China, he was her legal son. He wasn’t mine. Great thing we weren’t divorced in the last few months 🙂 . So we had the court date to finalize the re-adoption.
The judge asked if I had a job. “No, I am a pastor between pastorates. I was in PA last weekend and am hopeful they will offer me a position.” Oh, the irony of it all. But, in God’s providence they may be connected somehow.
Either way, though life may be difficult for CavFamily the next few months life with us will surely be better than life in a Chinese orphanage no matter how good the care. Here the adult-to-child ratio is 1:1.
He has adapted quite well to CavFamily thus far. He is a mostly happy little boy. Like any other 2 year-old there are moments when you are frustrated by a lack of listening and downright disobedience. But we enjoy him. He is beginning to imitate more of our speech, which is a great improvement. He should begin speech therapy soon to help him learn to use that new soft palate of his to make the sound of consonants.

Hey…I think you should become a pastor in the Allentown/Lehigh Valley area. I would most definitely come to your church. And you could have a mature adult baby-sitter for the CavKids! 🙂
Thanks, we were nearly just about there. In fact, I got lost on Allentown Road.
Dude, we could’ve had a blast!
