Isabella!!!!
At 3:30 yesterday afternoon, we finally held Isabella in our
arms for the first time! Along with two other couples adopting through our
agency, we went to the local Civil Affairs Office and in an exciting,
inspirational, chaotic and unforgettable scene, we entered a 3rd story room
full of adoptive parents from other agencies waiting for their children. We
were blessed with the opportunity to observe several other families receiving
their children as part of their forever family and then heard the name
"Hill" being called out. One of the prettiest, tiniest girls we have
ever seen came into our room with the orphanage director and Mom had the
fortune of holding her first. Isabella instantly melted all of our hearts as we
took turns holding her. Her transition to us was very smooth and soon after she
was comfortably in Ellen & Sophia's arms taking a nap. Isabella slept
through the entire night for us and her personality is really coming out today
with plenty of smiles and laughter. Sophia has been fantastic throughout the
trip and is great with Isabella. It's as if they were always part of God's plan
to be together. As you can see from her pictures, she is absolutely
BEAUTIFUL!!.
