We had to visit Hollis' home village to have the father sign some more paperwork for the US side of things. Usually, Hollis doesn't like crowds of people, but he did beautifully interacting with everyone. They wanted to see him, hold him, touch him, and comment about how "fat" he was becoming. Needless to say, I was very proud of Hollis' behavior. He took pictures with his biological brothers, his step mother, his cousins, his grandmother. You name them, we've got pictures with them. Again, I'll just let the pictures explain the day.
