The End of a Very Long Process

It seems lately that my blog posts don't get finished/posted the day I begin them so this was written on Tuesday 12/20.

This was my conversation with Max today as we discussed going to court in the morning and seeing the judge so we could be his parents forever.

Max ~ Why you get me from Thailand? Me ~ Because you needed a mommy and daddy. Max ~ Why? Me ~ You didn't want to live at Bann Fang Fa forever did you? Max ~ No. Me ~ So God knew you needed a mommy and daddy and we were in America so He told us to go to Thailand and get you and we said okay. Max ~ That was nice, I like Him!

He is talking more about Thailand right now. Asking me to say things in "Thailand" and then he will tell me what they mean. If I ask him what an English word is in Thai he usually can't recall it, but if I say the Thai to him he generally can. This won't be a good method for him retaining his Thai as I can say about 10 words/phrases and I don't say them well. But it is very interesting watching him become fluent in his new language and hold on to the old. If there were a way for him to retain it I think we might try but I have no way of doing that. It would require immersion and that's not possible, but perhaps when he is an adult he'll be able to learn Thai again if he so desires.

As I have mentioned about a billion times we are cautiously optomistic that all will be quick and easy in the morning.
