Yeah, they seem like a happy couple and she seems genuinely interested in 
helping him find his roots and building relationships.

Yes indeed. He was a shy boy when he was little. He seems to have matured into
a good and caring adult. When I seen a picture of him and his family which
included his son. I remarked to him that his son looks exactly like he did at
that same age. One habit that my son had when he was a 3-4 year  old was to
find him sitting on the kitchen floor taste testing everything in the fridge.
 Seems HIS son does the same thing now that he is the  same age.
