Last night I was looking through some pictures so I could pull out the ones we need for our post-placement reports.
GW walked by and I pointed to him in the picture and told him that he was handsome. Since I wanted to make sure he understood what I was saying, I also typed "handsome" into G**gle Translate. He typed back to me (in Mandarin)
"I don't think so."
Break a momma's heart.
So later in the evening, I typed back to him: "I think you are handsome."
He responded: "Unfortunately, you are not me."
I know he is a teenage boy and most teenage boys probably don't think they are handsome. I haven't had the last 14 years to plant this thought in his head like I have with my bio kids. It's just another example of how much catching up I have to do with this young man. Fortunately, he seems content to let me do that.

I think he's very handsome. He has kind eyes and a nice smile. My little guy is going to be over 6 ft some day. From the time he was a baby I've told him to be gentle and sweet. I'd trade that for handsome any day. :)
Please tell him that i think he is INCREDIBLY Handsome! And very cute (:
Also tell him this is coming form a teenage girl around his age. I'm 17 ^^
But he seriously is VERY handsome!! <3
Your mom is very right. You are a very handsome young man.
Maybe we can convince him since "mama's vote" sometimes doesn't count. What a handsome young man. I hope that Colin will feel that kind of love and support when we bring him home soon. Just keep telling him. He will believe it someday. Best to you all,
Angie
Oh my! Definitely HANDSOME! Such nice eyes and a killer smile!! Better still, he seems to have a heart that matches!
