Last weekend, Rada and I had the pleasure of meeting Ethan Azamat, an adorable, bright-eyed four-year-old who is the brand new son of Gwen and Mark.
They travelled to Kazakhstan to meet Ethan earlier this year, and Gwen just recently returned from fulfilling final legal obligations and bringing him back to the US.
This past weekend, Rada and her old friend Nuri were having a playdate reunion (both of them being former Kazakhs, themselves) and Ethan joined the group with more enthusiasm and energy than I’ve ever seen in a newcomer. He ran with the pack and acted like he’d lived here all his life. He absorbed, digested, and expressed words in English with an alarming speed and accuracy.
And when he smiled, oh my goodness, ships sank and the stars came out.
Welcome to this world, Ethan. Its wonderful to have you here.
