My world is a different place.

I have a son now – and the world is a different place.

Prior to Alex’s arrival I knew this would be an intense and emotional experience. The impact this young man had on me was huge and way beyond my expectations.

He is an amazing young man. He is strong in spirit, high in energy, and kind of heart. He is very smart and has a very playful sense of humor. He is quite athletic. He has a magnetic personality. He has an enthusiasm for life that is astounding and must be rewarded with all the opportunity I can provide him.

Alex has changed my life forever in two short weeks. He has also brought Cynthia and me closer together in new ways through this shared experience.

His visit seemed incredibly brief, but at the same time it was long enough for me to know he is and will always be my son.

It was incredibly difficult to see him go back to Odessa even temporarily. Now my main focus is brining him home so that we (Alex, Cynthia, and me) can continue our life journeys together as a family.

Please keep us in your prayers.
