We have Devereux!

 Wow! What an incredible day!
We have Devereux and he is an awesome kid!
 
We had been told D was in an orphanage but we learned today that he has been living in a foster home for the last five years with three foster siblings .   The orphanage staff told us that when they started his file for international adoption many months ago, they told him.  They prepared him incredibly well. There were no tears. He told our guide that he was happy to have a family and is excited to go to the US.
 
They told us he finished second grade and is very smart. He seemed to like the backpack with the toys I brought and quickly figured out how to put together the Lego helicopter.
 
His prosthesis leg is definitely too big but he does well with it. He gets around better than expected.
 
We are so incredibly blessed to have Devereux as our son.
 
Thanks so very much for your prayers
