O

Obsi is said to be very nice. He enjoyed the pictures we sent. The one taken from the helicopter really caught his eye! He is taller than we would think, guessing his height to be at 5'6". His english is good. He was told that he will go to the same school and church as M and N. He seemed relieved! He has a great smile and seems to be out-going. He joked around with M, N and some other boys.

(side note here: M & N will be adopted by friends of ours who go to our church)

I had bought Obsi some clothes, but they will not fit. I told Seth, he would have to share his clothes until we get Obsi his own stuff. Seth was great about it. Seth is 5'6" so Obsi should fit into all his jeans. I then asked Seth if he could pack clothes for Obsi when we go pick him up and he will! He just asked that we buy Obsi is own boxers and socks...of course! And he asked if he could keep his favorite basketball shorts for himself. Everything else is open for sharing! I love it when the boys have that attitude of sharing.

Obsi has a best friend he will leave behind. This friend wrote a note to the director, Sue, that he would like her to find him a family like O, M & N are going to. It seemed that this friend will be very lonely when O, M and N go home. There are two other boys already on the "Waiting Children" list that are part of that group and they will also get left behind. There must be some families in this area that would adopt these three boys? It would be so cool to have all six boys together in America!! They are all really nice boys who have dreams of a future and a hope and a family.

I was joking around with Angela who works at Celebrate Children and told her I was going to make posters of these three boys and hang them all over our church, hoping someone would be willing to adopt them. She said she would have to talk with Sue on that one. I had to tell her I was kidding....I know I can't do that! Sure wish I could!!
