Tonight we sat down with Axel. He has enough language now that maybe he can tell us some things. He can at least understand a lot of what we're telling him.
"Axel, do you remember a long time ago, you lived in a different house very far away? Do you remember, there was a different mama and papa?"
I showed him some pictures. They were pictures of his foster family.
"One day Mama got on a plane and flew very far away. Then I went to a house and knocked on the door, and a little boy came to the door. Do you know who that little boy was?"
"Me!" Axel signed.
"Yes, that's right! It was you. You were a little tiny boy. And I came to the door and said, "I am your new mama."
