And he is not all that thrilled about it...
Oh I know, the fact that he is grieving the loss of his foster family (and they grieving for his loss) is supposed to happen when there has been good, solid emotional bonding with a parent and child. It is just when you are holding him while he cries his little eyes out -- well it will break your heart.
Talked to Dick (Val's husband at Heartsent) and he reassured us that this is a normal part of the process and will get better with time. Getting through this period -- *sigh*
Have to get up in a few hours and get ready to go over to AIT (American Institute in Taiwan) to get his paperwork filed so we can get his visa Wednesday and fly home on Thursday.
It will get better, but we'll take all the good thoughts sent our way as we can get.
That's it for now from Taiwan.
