After we met, we walked across the river to a cafe. We gave L his gifts and explained them to him. We flipped through the photo album we made him and introduced him to our family.
After a few minutes of that, we asked L what kinds of things he liked and Minecraft came up. Immediately J and L started bonding over video games and YouTube! They were giggling and sharing time like they were old friends.
We talked with the help of the translator for a while and saw how well everything was going. It was amazing! He seemed to want us as much as we wanted him!
After a couple hours of talking, Dan and I decided it was already time to ask him the question we had been thinking about for months. Dan beautifully told L in Bulgarian that he is precious to us, and said that we want him to be our son and brother. He then asked if L wanted to be a part of our family. L answered yes right away! He asked when he could come home!
We spent the rest of the day together testing our relationship and then had to head back to Sofia. What an amazing day! We never expected the connection to be so sure!
