J is an awesome Daddy. Some of my favorite moments are spent watching J and Ivan interact. They love to play tickle games, jump out and get you games and so much more. They both light me up inside and I love them so much.
J is teaching Ivan how to be a good man. He sets a wonderful example of how to be in charge, while remaining lovable, soft and reachable. J is firm when necessary and tender when that is what is called for too.
He is also great at balancing his work and home life. Not an easy task in today's work, work, work world. However, J is home in time to kiss Ivan goodnight every night and we eat dinner together at least 6 days a week.
He is the man I want my son to grow up to be some day.
J, I love and respect you more than words can express.

The one thing I forgot to ask...
The day that we left the orphanage for the last time J and I said many, many thank you's to the wonderful caregivers that had loved and cared for Ivan while he waited for us to arrive. However, as I read the recap of another couple's last day at the orphanage I realize that there is one thing that I totally forgot to ask them...
"What do you want me to tell Ivan about you?"
In all of the days that we visited with them and told them how much we appreciated them and all that they had done for our son, we never thought to ask them how they would want to be remembered.
