BOULTON BOYS

Thank you for still checking up on our website. We have tried to keep a low profile since Benaldo was taken back by his mother. We found him about three weeks after his mother had taken him back. We felt and still feel that we are responsible for the care and well being of Benaldo. If that meant taking on the care of his whole family, we where going to do so. When he was found, his mother was so thankful because she had not been able to feed her children for 5 days. She is in very poor health, and Benaldo’s dad is no longer supporting her and their 3 other children. She still wanted to give Benaldo up for adoption, but was not will to take him back to the original orphanage. So we found another orphanage willing to take him in.
Robb and I were able to go spend a week with him in October. His health is great and he has developed a little attitude since the last time I saw him in April, which I love. He is still really sweet 90% of the time. He still loves to cuddle. He and Robb are quite the pair. The first night I put Benaldo to bed, he started whimpering “Papa Papa”. He wanted Robb to be on the other side of him while he fell asleep. The next morning he woke up looked around, and got the biggest grin and just snuggled in with us. I am amazed how much he loves us and trust us. It was the hardest goodbye yet. But we are so thankful to God for all the friends we have meet since we started this whole adoption. With out the joint effort of so many people, we would not have been able to find, nor adopt Benaldo. His adoption will not be compleete for a while, but we thank God every day for the many blessings when it comes to Benaldo.
I just returned from spending a week with Bryce. It was such a wonderful week filled with tons of laughs, love, old friends and new friends. Bryce is doing so well. At first he would not come to me for about thirty minutes. Every time I looked at him he would cover his eyes with his chubby little hands and watch me through his fingers. He is very bull headed, which I love. He reminds me of my sister who has to set back and observe people to decide weather or not she wants to associate with that individual. After all the other little kids had taken turns on my lap he decided I was ok. He is 100% boy. On the go, loves to explore, play with rocks and glasses of water, chase chickens and climb up and down stairs. He not a big fan of cuddling, but gives the best 5 second hugs. His adoption is moving along. We just got out of Parquet last week, which means we are almost done with the Haitian side of the adoption.
Love to all. Thank you for all the calls and emails filled with support.
Sincerely,
Holly Boulton
