I highly suspect that my son was one of the favored ones. You could definitely tell that one of the younger women was not particularly thrilled by us being there with him. Our son was and is very smart, very stubborn, and absolutely the biggest flirt /best little charmer I have ever seen. I still wonder if this was a combination of personality and adaptation to this life at the home. I have little doubt that the Mr. Charmer routine got him a lot more attention at the Baby Home. I still have the card that one of the caregivers wrote for him the day before we came to get him. We had it translated. It really is precious. We had to have 10 people crowded in the doorway when Hunter and his older friend left that day. Thank you for that insight into what could've been. Now if I could just forget the look on that older boy's face two years ago. There are times when I really wish I had asked about him. I will always wonder if he was available and if he got a "Forever Family".
