A couple of weeks ago we were told that we could send Benjamin a package . I asked for guidence in sending appropriate items for him. The box contained: 2 pairs of pajama's, crayons, coloring book, pictures of the family and a Thomas the Train blanket. Today I learned that he had received the package and was very excited to show off all of his new stuff. The pajamas were the first pair he has ever owned and fit quite well!
The blanket was a favorite, he proudly showed it to his grandmother telling her that "his family had sent it, and not to touch it"! This cracked me up, his 3 year old american cousin tells us not to touch his stuff all of the time. This confirmed that he will fit right in and they should be fast friends!!!
At the end of last week, I received photos of him at church. I noticed that he was the only boy in the church photo without a suit on. I asked if it would be possible to send money for a suit to be purchased. Today I received this cute photo of him sporting his new duds! Looks a little big but, so handsome!
Benjamin is very excited about his new family and repeatedly speaks of us and his new American home. When Benjamin speaks of his new home to his grandmother he tells her that "there will be lot's of food there. WOW, how unimaginable that wealth for them is food.
In two days, the families adoption petitions will be presented to Kenya's High Court. Please be praying for the right judge to be assigned to our case and that we will have favor in the Kenyan courts. This will be a day of many decisions and an outline of the required steps we must take to complete this adoption will be determined.
I look forward to receiving more good news!
