"Meet" Odesco and Mercy !!

Odesco and Mercy

The following report was given to us by AOH...they recently hired a young woman who writes reports for the waiting families. What a gift to receive this updated photo and such candid descriptions of our new children!! It does this mommy heart good to see this picture ...much cheerier than the last one and to know they are spending time together on a regular basis. This is our first smiley picture of our sweet son!! Oh how we long to bring them home!!!!

Mercy: outgoing and rambunctious. Odesco: quiet and reserved. These two unrelated kids make quite a compatible sibling group. Mercy’s outgoing personality is balanced by Odesco’s calm and quite disposition. Whether interacting together, or with friends, Mercy and Odesco’s personalities really seem to work well together.

Mercy is a passionate little girl. If she’s happy, she’s very happy, often throwing herself at people and giving out hugs. If she’s upset, she’s really upset, pouting for long periods of time. Mercy has a sweet disposition and a transparent personality. She is very excited about her new white family and frequently asks me when it will be her time to go. Mercy is very energetic and loves playing games that require a lot of physical activity. But she’s also a girly-girl and enjoys wearing pretty dresses and shoes. Mercy talks a lot and always has something interesting or funny to say. (Hmmmm...sounds like someone else we know and love in the B family!!)

Odesco is a very quiet boy. Because of how quiet he is, it takes time to really figure out his personality. When interacting with other kids, Odesco is definitely a follower. He does not feel the need to compete with other kids for attention. He likes sitting quietly as other kids say funny things and do things to show off. He laughs along with them, but doesn’t seem to want to be like them. Odesco loves building-type toys. He would love to be able to make a car or a house out of Legos, or a similar toy (building toys are a hot commodity among the kids at the orphanage.) One of his favorite things to do is to sit quietly and design little houses with the jumbo blocks at the orphanage. All the B Boys have been Lego crazy lately so Odesco will fit right in. B4 will certainly need to curtail his chattiness so that Odesco can get a word or two in and we can get to know him :)!!
