I'M COMING HOME!!!!

My visa has been approved and Mom & I are headed home. I will be sad to leave my birth country, but can't wait to become a part of "the village".

Soon you'll see me strolling the streets, playing at the park with my brothers and friends and reading books at the library.....

Thanks to everyone for the kinds thoughts, lots of nice emails to my Mom since she's been by herself - it was pretty tough for her. Now she can't stop singing and dancing to that song "I'm Coming Home, to the place where I belong...." - can we please get her some singing lessons for Christmas? or it could be the combination of tears of joy and relief.....
Dad, Danny and Billy get that cheesburger ready for her!
Love to all, Happy Thanksgiving and may the blessings of all my friends at the orphanage give them hope that they too will be with a family soon.
Mom says her usual "God Bless" you all know how special you are! Ken & Mom
ps - a special prayer to my crib mate Helen...you will be going home soon too, I just know it!

What great news! We can't wait until you are back in the hood. Tell Kenny to get ready, not only are there many new faces ready to get to know him, but also possibly some snow! Thanks for sharing this journey with us, I feel like I know Kenny already, and can't wait to see him in person. See you in a few days!
