Beyond words. . .

We just don't have any words to describe our feelings today. It has actually happened. We are parents. We left for the orphanage with Mr. Hiep and the 2 other families and their friends about 8:30 am. We got there about an hour and a half or so later. We started in a reception area where we met the director of the orphanage and were then led upstairs to a room where our 3 babies were waiting!! Sara was right inside the door in a walker and Sue scooped her up. Amazingly, neither Sue nor Sara were crying. Sara is as tiny as she looked in the pictures. The caretakers said she was a very good baby, very playful and smart. She understood Vietnamese when Bao spoke to her.

Here is Scott with his son, Henry. Henry had the most difficult time with the transition. This is Bao's son, Kevin.We stayed at the orphanage for 30-45 minutes playing with Sara and trying to get questions answered. We then rode back to our hotel with 8 people and 3 babies!!!

Now we are back at the hotel. Mommy and Sara are playing with toys. She has only cried a little bit when mommy tries to put her down. Daddy has to observe from the other bed.

Our G&R date may not be until next week, but until then we get to enjoy getting to know our new little girl.
