It was a whirlwind adventure meeting our boy. We walked into the social worker's office in his town and waited. Our stomachs were twisting anxiously. We exchanged pleasantries through the translator and waited.
We heard footsteps outside the door walking quickly. In walked a beautiful site. The boy we had seen limited pictures of, read limited information on, dreamed of, and imagined the possibilities of was standing in front of us.
He was visibly shaking and mirrored the anxiety we showed on our face. He was introduced to us and gave us nervous embraces. He called me "mom".
Dan introduced us beautifully, using Bulgarian words for wife, daughter, and son. That did it for me. My eyes welled up and I was lost to a whole new love.
I was already so happy, so satisfied with life. I didn't realize my heart could grow to accommodate a whole other person! This beautiful boy became my son in a matter of seconds. Any doubt I didn't know I had was erased.
