Happy Gotcha Day!

Today was the big day–Gotcha Day! We brought our daughter home from the orphanage this morning and now she resides with us in the hotel while we finish up paperwork with the Embassy. Here are a few fun photos from today. The bottom one was the smile we caught when I bent down to her level and she could see my face. That is when her face lit up! Sorry so short. We are very tired after listening to her scream her head off at naptime. She is tired and we are tired. Hoping that we don’t repeat that scene for bedtime, but yet we know and understand that it’s a very real possibility. Everything from surroundings, to sights, sounds, smells, voices, routines, foods, etc have all changed for her in one day. She’s a bit overwhelmed! Can’t really blame her, I would be too! Say a little prayer for us as she adjusts to everything new and that we get some rest. Tomorrow we meet with the Embassy doctor and then head off for a trip to the zoo.

    We have been praying for your new daughter and your adoption for quite some time now. I have a daughter, Anika, so we were drawn to her from the start. Anika enjoys reading the wonderful updates on “Anika”. Praying for a smooth transition and rest for you all. Congratulations.
