Gotcha Day

This morning our sweet treasure was birthed into my arms..
 There were twelve babies being adopted today.
She arrived somewhere in the middle of the group and I spotted her right away.
 To say this gotcha day was a dream is a understatement.
She came right to me with a little crunchy cheese stick prompting.
 She let me hold her, cuddle her, rock her, kiss her.
Dare I not jinx the rest of the week by saying.. She didn't shed even a tear.
 She played with the cups and stacked them while we waited.
She even laughed and smiled by the time we were on the bus.
 My assistants were a HUGE help.
They loved watching all the babies being born into their families.
This little treasure is a pure delight!
She has spent the afternoon eating, creating games with her new toys,
cooing, babbling, and playing with momma.
She hasn't slept any yet so I am hoping that tonight she will crash.

  1. I got up this morning and practically ran to your blog to see this precious girl in your arms. She is beautiful and looks like she is right where she needs to be...with her mama!! Praising God for his goodness and faithfulness through this whole process. Praying for a time of sweet, gentle bonding with Anna Mei.
