Lili si Gelu in Ucraina /
Liliana and George in Ukraine

Hello everybody,

I cannot believe that more than one month has passed since we arrived home with our beautiful son, Vlad. Things are going well, or I should say really well. Vlad is adjusting well to his new home, family and life. He already knows lots of words in Romanian and understands even more. He loves to play (with cars, but not only), explore new things and see how everything works. Everyday we are taking advantage of the nice weather and spend a lot of time outdoors, going to different playgrounds and parks. Yesterday we visited the Riverdale Farm in downtown Toronto and Vlad saw animals and even a cow being milked. He asked right away about cocoa with milk (which he likes to drink :lol:). In the afternoon we went to the beaches and played with sand and trew stones in the water. Also he loves to go on the highest slides, climb and go on the swing. Once in a while, we go to a family centre where Vlad makes friends and plays with various toys and tries with some success to participate in the circle time (songs and rhymes). Of course, he became very attached to us and cannot stay too long without seeing or asking about mama and papa. He also enjoys other people's company and is very friendly. He still has some stuberness moments, however they are less often and it seems like he understands the limits, but still tests them. Our life has changed a lot since we have Vlad, but all in a good way. We are a very happy family and enjoy every single moment with our son. We want to wish everyone who is going or plan to go through an adoption experinece good luck and a lot of patience.

Bye for now,

Lili, Gelu and Vlad
