We finally got home just after midnight. What a long and exhausting day!!! Maksim fell asleep on the way home from the airport. But as soon as we got him home, he woke up and was just as excited as we were. He first saw Buddy and Joey, our two cats. Wow, was he excited!!! He was giggling and clapping his hands. He couldn't believe that there were two live little fuzzy creatures walking around. Then we brought him up to his room to get him ready for bed. As we walked into the room he literally gasped and shrieked with excitement, jumped up and down, danced all around and pointed at all of the toys and all the other wonderful things that were waiting for him. He couldn't believe it was all for him. It was like Christmas morning!! It brought tears to our eyes, to see our child this overwhelmed with joy. What a wonderful feeling to bring such happiness to a child.
We feel incredibly lucky and truly blessed. We thank God everyday for bringing us this wonderful baby boy into our lives.
A special thanks to all of you for your support, prayers, and friendship during our adoption process. Stay tuned for more postings of life at home. Love, Barbara, David and Maksim, and of course Buddy and Joey.

Welcome back! It's great to read all about Maksim, I hope you continue to write about his development and growth and how you guys handle different situations - we "waiters" need to learn from you experienced people!! Congrats again and welcome home!
Barbara & David,
I've been quietly following your posts. Maksim is beyond cute. I'm extraordinarily happy for you two. And for him. He won the lottery as far as parents go.
