They were so little, so precious.<br /><br />You know, a few months ago I was at the gym and a show about adoption came on. I was totally unprepared for the scene when the parents got to meet their little girl for the first time. I started crying in front of all the other people at the gym! It was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. I have a feeling your special moment was just as beautiful - or more so! Adoption does rock!Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11360194582653685073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207534853757425423.post-80838315561772846372011-01-28T08:10:27.684-05:002011-01-28T08:10:27.684-05:00Prepared or not, you were a great mom that day and you are a great mom everyday!<br /><br />Very sad we missed the reunion, but Caleb and Becca did their best to fill us in.

We might be going back there but we just came back to the states to take a sabbatical. Thanks for sharing the video, too!
