The last week encompassed both the best and the worst experiences I've ever had. Meeting my darling boy for the first time was unlike anything I had ever imagined. He was exactly the little guy I had dreamed of, and I can't get his precious little grin out of my mind.
Leaving him was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, and I still cry every time I think about that moment. There is no question that we bonded while I was there, but I was grateful that he was fine going back to his nannies when we left (thank God for small blessings).

As hard as it was to leave, I went almost three weeks without seeing Jack Bauer, and needed his arms around me to soothe the pain of being with our boy. Luckily, I have had an instant love affair with Shanghai and it's helping me take my mind off of Nate and the orphanage.
So, it's now back to writing about my second favorite topic - the lighter side of infertility. Stay tuned. More on the way soon.
Your little boy is absolutely precious! I'm sure it must've been awful to leave him behind. Hang in there, hopefully he'll be with you sooner than later :-)
