Today, after 1 1/2 years of waiting, we finally got to hold our little boys. They arrived at 10:00 am just like promised. They were brought to us by their foster mother, Marie Claire, and her son. It was very difficult to speak with them as they only spoke French and Lingala. However, with some exaggerated hand motions and some props, we were able to learn some information about their eating and sleeping habits.
The boys went to us without much hoopla. However, they were a bit cautious at first! I mean we look totally different than the common person around here. By lunch, they had warmed up well and by dinner they had picked their favorite parent...Malachi picked Brian and Isaac picked me.
The remainder of the day we took walks around our guest house compound, ate dinner at a restaurant, and gave baths.
