What we know about Petr (Nicholas)

Just want to share the "blurb" we received on Petr when we chose him from among the boys age 1-3 available for adoption at the Ust-K Baby House. Many children are not available because their biological parents meet the minimum requirement of one visit per year.

"Petr is available for adoption. This Caucasian boy has brown eyes and light brown hair. He has a great smile and is always joking with everyone. He is super healthy. He just turned three. He is a very gentle child and likes everyone. He is a little shy when he first meets strangers. He asks for a Mom and Dad all the time. He is very outgoing once he knows you. He is generally happy. He takes very good direction from adults. He was born the middle of Feb 2004. He is very verbal. He has many friends.

He has been in the orphanage since April 2006. No one knows where he was before, and there is nothing in any document showing where he was before. He was an abandoned child."

Please pray for protection of his young little soul as we get closer and closer to finally meeting him. I just can't wait to put my cheek against his peachy little face. We've already packed a Redskins cushy football and some "real" shoes!

He sounds like a little angel. This boy must be a very special soul to be gentle and open and laughing in spite of such a difficult start to life. There won´t be any difficulty with a birth mother in this case, right? What a pregnancy this is being...!!!! Your faith is giving you patience and perseverence that would be impossible otherwise. I hope that soon you´ll have your little boy cuddled in your arms.

I think I remember who Petr is - he is too cute! Don't you just want to take them all and give them a safe and loving home? I hope you get to travel soon! We are waiting on our docs to be translated...this waiting part is the hardest!
