Pray for safety and good health for "Stellan" and that our adoption runs smoothly.
We can not wait to get to him and to get him home!
From someone that visited "Stellan" last year:
Despite his obvious lack of proper nutrition he was very strong. He stuck his feet out of his crib on the floor and pulled himself to a standing position. He cannot walk but with help he can take some steps. I strongly suspect this is due more to lack of opportunity than actual loss of ability. He is able to sit up and pull up on his crib. He vocalized vowel sounds and made good eye contact. The one thing I will always remember about Stellan is that he had a very sweet demeanor. Despite his lot in life he was very happy and very sweet. No child EVER deserves a life sentenced to a mental institution but especially a child like Stellan, who really has the chance to blossom with some opportunity to work on his abilities. I just know in my heart that with some therapy and some love, he could be a completely changed boy.

Just wanted you to know that I do read your blog and find you guys inspiring. We're praying for you all!
