I was having breakfast with Jessica (my autistic daughter who does not talk) and Thomas (my almost 9 year old son who was adopted from Thailand). Thomas makes a statement. He says, "Thailand is beautiful". I was surprised by the statement. He has lived with us for two years, and has not wanted anything to do with Thailand. I said "yes honey, Thailand is very beautiful"! I almost forgot, but we are going to Thailand (God willing) in two weeks. We are hoping our final two documents come before then, so there is no delay in our sending them to our agency! I am amazed at the changes in Thomas. I am so glad he is beginning to think of Thailand as beautiful!!!
