Meeting our son for the first time

August 18, 2008

This is the day I have been waiting for. The taxi picked me up at 8:45am. We drove to Semillas. I was accompanied by 3 close friends that I have met during this process. They were so sweet by taping and taking pictures of each step of the process.

We knocked on the gate and a guard let us in. I went straight to his room and there he sat on the table. The nannies were dressing him. I walked in with tears of joy streaming down my face. I held my arms out and he came right to me. It was the best feeling. To hold him in my arms was such a blessing and I owe it all to GOD. He made this happen for us.

Nicholas and I walked outside and I began to bond. We looked into each others eyes and that was the start of our life together.

As the day went on he began to cling to me. Of course I loved it. My friends who had visited before could already see a huge improvement in Nicholas. He began to smile and play with their boys. We call them the "TRIPLETS" . I love this little boy more than he will ever know.
