The Difference a Family (and a little hair) Makes - by McP

This is Cal a couple of weeks before our arrival in Kazakhstan...








And here is a shot I took of him tonight...







I think everyone who has followed us along our journey and has looked at the photos will see different things in the differences in him between then and now, as many of the changes are subtle. Seeing the changes in him in person is amazing! Not only in his appearance, but in almost every way.

Including mobility! Cal was not so speedy six weeks ago as he was tonight...




If you ever know anyone who is considering adoption to create or add to their family, please encourage them. There are so many children in America and all over the world who would thrive just like little Cal has, just with the love and care of a family. You have seen what our little family has done. Imagine what he can do after this Wednesday when he gains the love and influence of his grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and other extended family and friends! -McP

Note: Please keep Alison's grandfather, Walter Vaughn, in your thoughts and prayers. He is at this writing in intensive care at Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga after a serious accident yesterday at his home.
