We are off to see Sam for the last time this trip. As I was getting dressed this morning I was thinking about what so many people had said and that was that we would get that warm fuzzy feeling and know that this was to be our child. I haven't felt that yet. But I think that's because we have only had three days with him and he has been so reserved that I am not sure how he really is.
Later when we got back to the hotel:
Well thankfully this day was the best out of all three days we spent with Sam. Today he was more interested in us and we again tickled his feet but this time he laughed and smiled. This made me feel so much better. He also was open to our hugs and kisses and hugged and kissed us back; cuddled and put his head on our shoulders. It was also a sad day for us because we had to say goodbye and it seemed he was now finally comfortable with us. We think he will be okay with us once he is not around his caregivers and he figures out that we are his parents not just two people who came to play with him, talk to him in a foreign language, give him hugs and kisses and Cheerios.
Once the caregiver came in to take him for lunch his attention towards us was broken and it was very difficult to say goodbye.

Daddy, look what I can do!
Aren't I perfect?
