It is official . . .







We were able to spend some time with Rebecca and our birthmother at the hospital this morning! Michael had his first opportunity to feed Rebecca and he did a great job. We so admire our birthmother for this gift of life she is giving to our family. Rebecca is such an angel and we love her to pieces.

This afternoon around 3:15pm (72 hours after we got to the hospital on Saturday) we signed the papers which made Rebecca our daughter! What an amazing feeling :) We went to the Wine Styles shop in Arlington Highlands and purchased some champagne for our celebration.

Then we headed over to our wonderful transitional care provider's home. Peggy took care of Daniel for a day before we had our placement with him in Sept. 2007. Peggy is going to be watching over Rebecca for a few days prior to our placement ceremony on Friday. It was a magical evening with Rebecca, just holding her and feeding her b/c it really feels like she is our daughter now. My heart just continues to melt every time I look at her and hold her. Michael and I both got to feed Rebecca and share some champagne and Mexican food with Peggy! What a beautiful and happy evening. This is the best feeling in the world and we cannot wait for Daniel to join us and be a happy family of four :)
