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.
