We have been waiting for this day for many many months! It finally arrived and with NO sleep we were whisked off to the BH to officially meet Selah. It was everything we had prayed about and more! She RAN into our arms. She loved her Daddy to pieces and was already telling the kids that "her mommy" gave her the toy she was carrying around. She blew us kisses and played high 5 with us. We also saw the extra spunky side. Something I am so glad about, knowing she is a survivor and will fight to come out on top. She is VERY tiny for her age but if she is anything like Haven she will catch up quick.
More than once I envisioned all of my girls together, playing, fighting, loving each other. It is almost enough to take my breathe away to picture all four of them together forever! She is everything we have dreamed about and more!! We only got 30 minutes with her today since we had to meet with the MOE, and let me tell you it was not enough . We can't wait to see her again tomorrow. We are not sure if our official bonding will start today or Monday. Hopefully it started today but if not I won't complain that we get 2 extra days with her in country. We have a good "timeline" if there is such a thing here. It is court 4-6 weeks after bonding then pick up trip 4-6 weeks after court. So if all goes as planned she should be home right before Christmas. I can't imagine anything else I would want more!!! I can not imagine how good God really is! We are blessed! I will download pictures later. Thanks for praying with us and for us.
