Finally I post

So sorry to promise and not deliver many posts.

We had no idea how little time we would have for normally routine activities like email. We missed lots of meals and just did not manage to slow down. John is so active and has some social interaction issues that kept us on task with him every moment.

The crying picture is on gotcha day. He really cried and James had to hold him very tightly to allow the nannies to leave. John grabbed james glasses and through them to the floor; they were basically wrestling. We took him to the van this way and had many stares of local people. He stopped crying about 20 minutes later in the van.

We are doing well. John has many basic social skills to learn, like not eating furniture in burgerking, not pulling off table cloths, not kicking people. . . he so needed out of the place he was living!!
