Bryce Update

Our agency sent a doctor from the US Embassy to evaluate Bryce last month. Sorry such a delay of a update, I have been so busy. We got a full detailed report, so much more than when you adopt and get the monthly medical reports. The doctor even took pictures for me. She said Bryce has NO brain damage and is a healthy baby. It pretty much breaks down to him having crib syndrome and he just has zoned and blocked out the world and people since he does not get affection,touch,stimulation. He was dehydrated and that is why he was passing out on us, all the other things they say is from being at the orphanage for such a long time, a year now, and being in a crib, so he is delayed. They dedicated 1 nanny to him, and the owner of the orphanage has given me his word that he is being cared for,given fluids,and getting out of the crib more so he can catch up to his age.
Now its the journey to go back and get him. I have been so lucky to have met someone here in AZ that has helped with the VISA as I wrote before, it was not there when we went. SO even if we took him at that time, we couldn't as there was NO VISA at the Embassy.
She helped me and now the visa is there and I got a email confirmation from Addis.
Africa, here I come back to you again!
