Finally Father and Son: International Adoption Success
After a long wait, and a lot of patience the Marble’s have finally gotten their little boy from Kazakhstan! He is my husband’s new little cousin. He is just too cute. International adoption seems to be a series of ups and downs, where the parents jump through all sorts of hoops in order to get their child. I understand why it needs to be that way, still it is hard on the expectant parents.
This new dad couldn’t get enough of looking at his little boy, he bought a compact mirror so that he could see him at all times, even when in the kid backpack. I just had to smile, this was too sweet. The harder you try for something – the more you appreciate it (or him). The reward is sweeter than the road is bitter. We are happy to report, a very, very successful international adoption and overjoyed to welcome him into the family.

awww…he is just way too sweet. Congratulations to the Marble’s and your entire family!!!
What a sweet little boy! Congrats to everyone on such a wonderful new addition.
Okay, could he BE any cuter?!? International adoption is rough and even adopting within one’s own country is tough. In fact, it is a lot harder for an American to adopt an American child than it is to go internationally, which is why so many people do it. It is still a challenge though and like you said many hoops to jump through. I am so glad that he is a part of your family now and that the long wait is over!
Beautiful story. I love how joyful his dad is.
