We have shopped and we love the room. We are on the 26th floor. We had our Doctor's Exam too. Gabriella saw the sights and then fell asleep just before we got to the doctors office. Everyone was telling us how beautiful and Happy Gabby is, (like we don't know that-hehehehehe) We feel this is the most wonderful time as we are all done with the paperwork stuff and now we can enjoy reuniting with the other families and sharing stories. WE are all shopping, napping, and meeting many other families from all over who have adopted. I also ran into a man from Austrilia today who is here with his 17 year old daughter whom he and his wife adopted when she was 3 years old. He said when they got home she didn't want anything to eat or do with from China but then finally this year she wanted to come. They all visited the orphanage and some of the caregivers remembered her. It was an emotional time for them all but he said it brought everything together for each of them. They are very happy to have come and recommend it for all adoptive families, when it is right for them! He looked into Gabby's eyes and remembered when he first came and for me to see his eyes filled with the emotion and care it summed it all up. He said, "this is a very good thing you are doing and it will always be." He also said four years afer they adopted they had a biological child and she is now 10. She too came on this trip and it has been very meaningful for her. His name is Ian and I know God palced him in my path today. I continue to see God all around me and I hear him so loud and clear. He is remarkable and our Gabby is filled with His love, she beems with His grace adn mercy and His blessings are upon her. He has granted her the peace hat passes all understanding and I pray He continues to keep her close. Thanks be to God for this precious gift and for her proud new daddy and very happy big sister! God has surrounded me with so much love and I adore Him above all else. Thanks be to GOd!
