Mommy and Jake... first time meeting 2/26/03
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!!!
Our 4 year old son Jacob was adopted from St. Petersburg, Russia at the age of 7 months old in April 2003. We met him in February 2003 when he was just 5 1/2 months old. He was the cutest little thing and I was in love with him from the moment I saw his referral picture. Holding him in my arms for the first time was the icing on the cake! He was truly the most beautiful little boy I had ever seen. We had to travel to Russia twice. Once to meet him and then once for the adoption proceedings. We had to wait 5 weeks between trips. It was a grueling wait and I cried from the moment the airplane took off for the US until the time my feet landed safely back in St. Petersburg 5 weeks later. His adoption process was a smooth as can be and we will forever be grateful to our faciliation team, stateside reps and the Lord for bringing this beautiful boy into our lives.
