We are "officially" three

Today, we became a family of three. We left the hotel early and went to the orphanage to pick up the children. Ben was happy to see us this morning. We came with toys! We went to the official office and met with three members of the justice department who performed the giving and receiving ceremony. Ben was great throughout the whole thing. Then we went to lunch and Ben fell asleep in his mommy's arms. We returned to our hotel around 2pm and have been playing and laughing all afternoon. We are so amazed by Ben. He is absolutely the most precious creature. We have a ton of pictures. I can't wait to share them with you. I will work on a slide show. Ben is now falling asleep for the night in his daddy's arms.

We are so happy for your family. The photos are great, but even better will be to see the three of you back home. We don't know who is more fortunate - Ben, to have found such loving parents, or Rob and Tricia, to have found such a lovely, happy little soul. We celebrate with all of you, and we share your gratitude and joy. We look forward to seeing you at home soon. God bless!
