...go back to Colombia, and what??? I walked into the boys' room and heard Ben talking to Andrew. Earlier today, before Andrew went to school, I was looking thru some paperwork and found his picture of when he was baptized in Colombia. His foster mom had sent it with the few other belongings he had. I showed it to him, and said, "Look, Baby Andres, Andrew!" "Me?" he said and wanted to run and go show Beamie.
So, tonight, Andrew was telling his Papi that he wanted to go back to Colombia and bring home a baby brother who didn't have a Mami or Papi! Wow! "Andrew, are you sure?" Mami said. "Andrew, babies poop! Don't ya want one older like you or Diego?" "No," he said, "I want a baby!"
I'm really not sure if I will do well with a baby, but we will see what God has in mind in the future. For now, we must complete this adoption, and continue to learn and bond with one another, and enjoy ourselves. It is neat, however, to seeing and hearing Ben's perspective and how God has begin to open his heart to the idea of adopting again! and again! (twice more that is!)
