Guatemalan son graduated from high school

Proud mama posting pictures of her Guatemalan born son graduating from high school. He attended a local city college his last semester of high school and has been holding down a part time job. He plans to go there another 2 years before transfering to a 4 year college. This is a man with a plan! He came to be my son at 5 1/2 yrs old from a hogar in Guatemala together with his bio sister. Anna

Looking at your pictures & reading your post brought tears to my eyes. He sounds like a great young man and I can see how rightfully proud you are of him. Congratulations on being a wonderful mom and having such a "good kid". And congratulations to your son on accomplishing all that he has and all that he will.

Wow!! Congratulations to your son on his incredible accomplishment. He sounds very bright and motivated!! As I read your entry, tears came to my eyes as I thought of posting our sons' graduation pictures in 17 years. I'll bet the time went really fast!

That is one of the reasons I posted. It is amazing how time flies. Also they are not just our children when they are little ones but also as teens and young adults and it is equaly awesome. It is just "yesterday" DH and I went for the pick up of this little 5 1/2 yr old "man" with his puggy belly full with worms. I can still hear his and his sister's voices calling out," Papa! Mama!" as we stood outside of the hogar. His sister jumped in my arms and my little boy stood looking for a moment and then decided to take a leap for his 6'2" papa eventhough he obviously was not too sure about this man as they were used to females. He is still like that and tries pretty much everything. Anna
