Day 4...Gotcha Day!!!

I know everyone is wanting to see pictures more than anything so I will put them first.



It was truly and AMAZING day!  Thanks for all the prayers because they were answered more than we could have ever hoped!  As soon as we walked into the room today, her caregivers let her down and she walked right over to me with her arms held up for me to pick her up!  It was something I'll never forget!!  I picked her up, kissed and hugged her, and she was perfectly fine!  She never wanted to go back to her caregivers.  She then went right to Erik...no problem!  She was back and forth between the two of us the whole time we were at the adoption center.  She LOVED the baby doll Aunt Keisha!  She has not let it go!  We did find out some interesting news on her.  She was actually in the orphanage and not in a foster home like we thought.  She had 4 caregivers that came with her today.  They took a 5 hour trip from the orphanage!  They had a long trip!  They answered all our questions and really seemed to care about her very much.  They were taking as many pictures as we were!  :)  When we got her back to the hotel and took her layers of THICK clothes off, we found this very tiny girl!  She is wearing 9 month old clothes!  (She'll be 2 yrs old in 2 weeks)  She has been such a joy!  She has not cried or even been strong willed about anything (yet).  She has played with her toys, eaten a bowl of rice for supper, and is about to get a bath.  We are so very thankful for her and we are blessed that God put her in our family!  Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!
 
****More to follow later.  We are VERY tired after an eventful day!!  Gotta get this sweet girl bathed and off to bed!  We have videos that we will post to FB too.  We love all of you and cherish your prayers!!****
