short and sweet for now with more to come...

i'm here. this is real. and this morning we met our little girl. it was surreal. they called families upstairs one at a time to meet their children. i was doing the ugly cry and they filmed the whole thing. her eyes are the biggest eyes i've ever seen. at first she just looked and looked at us. and we looked and looked at her. but when i crouched down, opened my arms and said, "nay" - "come here" in amaharic - she came right to me in her pink sparkley shoes and i hugged her. and with that, we became a forever family.
