"Forever Family Day...Finally!"





















We had an awesome day! We met Georgea a little before noon and then spent the bulk of the day doing paperwork. Our meeting was a tearful one for our baby girl, but less than an hour later she was smiling giggling & clinging to both of us, like she'd known us since the beginning. Here are some photos of our first day together. I promise to post more photos & more updates, but we're wiped out, so it's off to bed for the three of us for now!
