Words cannot express the events of this morning. Two worlds collided as we met our daughter for the first time. It was a whirlwind of action and excitement and nothing at all like I expected it to be.
Daniel and I were filling out paperwork with the rest of our group when we heard some noise from behind. As we turned around our daughter was being carried into the room. Immediately the tears began to flow down my cheeks. Of course we were told to finish our paperwork and that they would call us one family at a time to meet our children. As we completed our task the caregiver who brought Annalise in was showing her our photo book and pointing to us. After a few minutes while we were still at the table the caregiver took A over to meet her Jie Jie. Annalise immediately began calling Eleanor, Jie Jie (Big Sister). My heart was bursting with joy.
We finally walked over to meet sweet Little A. Our girl was timid and definitely scared. We have her now. She is ours. There are no more sleeps separating us and no more distance. We have a long road ahead of us as we begin our attachment and bonding but we are on the road together.
A happy road.
