the one with a new daughter

we went to the civil affairs office and there were already other families and children there.  we waited and watched as other families came and went.  I was emotional watching others meet their children for the first time.  it was nice talking to another mother about God leading us to this place and trusting him...it gave me new resolve that this is scary but right...we are His hands and feet.

then she came...and went...they had to take her to the bathroom so we saw her pass by the door and go...but she soon came back.  and finally there she was!!  and the camera died!!  

luckily Jordan's iphone saved the day :)

so without further adieu...

the first thing that struck us is she is very tall!  skinny but tall :)  she is independent and doesn't want help with anything.  she ill not really let us touch her yet.  we can playfully but she hits us away.  I did kiss her head at one point...very quickly.

I will post more later but we are off to lunch!
