Here she is....

I won't do much talking for now, because I know you just want to see PICTURES!! So, here they are.... We are completely in love with this sweet and feistly little girl....
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away"
God has blessed us today. We are in awe of this precious little gift!

Here is the first glimpse we caught of her / Wir sehen sie!!!

First meeting / Ihre Begleiter bringen sie zu uns

First picture with her new Mama and Baba / Erstes Foto mit ihren neuen Eltern

After we played in the room for a while, she started smiling and giggling and being silly! Does it get much cuter?? /
Kurz nachdem wir wieder im Hotel waren, begann sie zu lachen und zu spielen. Ist sie nicht soooo suess?

Kiddos, you are going to love your new sister!

I dont know what to say, I am speechless!!! I am a emotional mess right now. Wesley was so eager to see her that he has been checking in all night, he then came and got us as soon as the pictures came up. We love you all and I am sooooo blessed that you now have your new daughter, She is a lovely little thing.

Congratulations to you both and your whole family +1. Enjoy your bonding time. Although it's only been hours she looks like your daughter and comfortable with you.

HOW PRECIOUS!!! She is beautiful!! It is so good to see her smile! We've been really watching close her reaction...because Sadie is 3 years old too. I know adopting a toddler is different that a baby. It is encourageing to see her response. We are continuing to pray for your connection! As always, we look forward to your post!!

Barb, you and Mike and Nina have captured all of our hearts! She's a beautiful child!...a beautiful blessing!...blessed to join a beautiful family! I am so emotionally moved by all your words and photos...tears flow. May the spirit that brought Nina to you and you to her embrace all three of you with a blanket of security and comfort. May Nina know and feel the protection of your love on her very special journey away from her homeland into her new world. May you have beautiful blue skies all the way back home! Judy Combs
