Christian Fanuel Keane-Dawes. Fanuel was his name that was given to him by the orphanage and it means Vision of God. This little boy stole our hearts before we ever knew of him. This picture was taken the day that we met him for the first time. It was a day full of so many emotions. After traveling for almost 30 hours, being stranded at the airport in Ethiopia for 3 hours early in the morning, we headed right over to meet him. You wait for this moment, and while you wait, you ask yourself what will it be like? You fantasize about the first time that you will hold him and look into his eyes. You think about the first time you will kiss his little cheeks and hold his little hands. You wonder what will his voice sound like. And if you're anything like me, you have dreams about this moment when you go to sleep, and you don't want to wake up. When we first saw him and he looked at us with his wide eyes, he embraced us. He smiled and it melted my heart. There is no doubt in my mind that Christian was supposed to be our son. Immediately, he took a liking to us and the attachment process for us has been a breeze. I can't wait to bring him home so everyone else can meet our handsome prince.
XOXO
