Got him!

I just talked to Jim and they have Will. The transition was really hard on him. The caregivers brought him in to the Civil Affairs Office and he was obviously uncomfortable. He was the only child being adopted at the time, so they had a lot of time to talk and try to help him transition. Jim learned his nickname in the orphanage is "The General". Sounds like Hope is going to get a run for her money. He's also quite large. Jim thinks he weighs about 40 lbs.

Jim was able to spend about 1 hr with the caregivers, so this time he got a lot of information. Once they left, Will dissolved in to gut wrenching tears. He cried for about 2 hours. When I talked to them, Will was happily playing with the phone. He took great offense that Jim kept trying to get to talk on.

Will also really enjoys eating. Jim said he was amazed at how much food he put away. I will post pictures of him when Jim sends them to me. Jim said it was obvious that he was treated well. He is right on track developmentally. I'll post pictures when Jim gets them.
