Gottcha Day





































WOW...incredible day! What an overwhelmingly wonderful day. We left for the Social Welfare office at 2:00. We went upstairs to a lovely waiting room that was large & open with fun couches all around for families to sit & meet their new additions. We were I think the third family to meet our child. She was peeking out of the curtain to see us ahead of time & I knew it was her! She was happy to see us for a few minutes, but then was not so sure about this strange group huddled around her crying. Then others in the room began to cry & after a few minutes it rubbed off on her. :) She has a special bond with Jeff already & calls him Daddy & literally jumped in his arms when things got overwhelming for her. Bless her little heart. The tears pretty much continued until we got back to the room. Since being in our room she has been great. She is playing her Nintendo DS along side her big sister & happy as a clam. Also found out that McDonalds nuggets are a hit.
