We've FOUND Anna!!!




We have her!


A little after 3 she came to the meeting room on the second floor with a worker from the orphanage. She was the last one to arrive and I could hear her laughing and singing as she came off the elevator. She was hesitant and nervous at first, but quickly warmed up to us. She's funny, loves to play and laugh. She copies what we do and laughs out loud at it. Right now Steve and her are playing with the photo capture on his computer. ( ./,.,. - from Anna on the way to the washroom).




We went out right after meeting her to have pictures taken for her Visa. Now we're going to go to the buffet dinner in the restaurant downstairs.


She's hilarious! We're in love!

Congrats!! I am so excited for you ALL! She is so beautiful! Its almost like you can see all of the emotions you blogged earlier in her face. Excitement for her Forever Family, apprehension of not knowing, and sadness for what she is losing. Those eyes of hers are VERY expressive.
