I embraced JunFen as our daughter at 3:30 pm today! My heart was beating so fast before meeting her - once our eyes met I felt such incredible joy and I knew in the depths of my being that she was meant to be ours.
I find it difficult to find the words to describe such an incredible moment. It seemed most like when Jerry and I exchanged vows - love, nervousness, praise to God, overflowing joy - flooding into my heart.
JunFen is now sitting on my lap with her "My Little Pony" and helping me type - she pushes the letter when I point to it. She came in the meeting room smiling, said "Mama!" and hugged me and gave me a kiss. While it was something she must have been instructed to do - I definitely detected genuine excitement and tenderness in her voice and touch. I gave her the locket with her Baba's photo in it and she beamed.
Thank you all for your prayers - today was a dream come true! I am totally elated! Our food just came to our room, so I am going to post pictures and write more later! Oh, have to mention we had about an half hour video call with Fen Fen and Baba throwing kisses to each other and making funny faces!!! BaBa is head over heels in love
