You are just beginning your journey and sounds like getting through some potential hurdles quickly so keep up the faith! Your time and observations w/ your son are more valuable than you know right now. You will look back on it and realize things you don't right now. So soak up every minute, every movement of the staff to help you realize more and more about your son. You have a right to feel upset about the length of time but remember in the end it will all be worth it. And I commend you so much for your goals of trying to build his trust in you all. To take him from that comfort of not just his stroller but the whole building into bustling airports and loud cities he is going to need your safe arms of trust - keep at it! Know there is an army of prayer soldiers here :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2162644791428000360.post-8648350208685965822012-04-25T04:47:34.928-06:002012-04-25T04:47:34.928-06:00There are flights from Kiev to Helsinki, Finland e...There are flights from Kiev to Helsinki, Finland every sunday ( and tuesday and thursday), and one through Tallin, Estonia on Saturdays, those should have room?
