We have the sweetest girl in the world. She is amazing, amazing, amazing!! She is already bonding and attaching with us. I truly can't describe what it is like to be her parents. We feel like the most blessed people on Planet Earth. There is so much more to tell you about how incredible our Gotcha Day was, but I know you just want to see pictures. :) I understand...all we want to do is stare at her. :)
Here she is!!
