Gotcha Day!

This morning 12 little toddlers met their forever families. We finally met our little Ben. He is absolutely the sweetest little thing. He never even whimpered.  Honestly, the only time he cried all day is when they had to take his footprint for our adoption paperwork this afternoon.  Leah was the best big sister ever.  We couldn't believe how well she played with him and cared for him all afternoon. We have decided that Ben's new nickname is going to be HC in honor of the book The Hungry Caterpillar. One day one he ate through one bag of puffs, one banana, one squeezable bag of broccoli, one bag of carrots, one tub of fried rice, a plate of chicken and one cookie. Whew...
The sibling play area at the Civil Affairs office.
Ben was next to last to arrive so we had the opportunity to take pictures and watch the other children meet their families.

Ben finally arrives!




As I mentioned above... he is our very own hungry caterpillar!

After a full day of being a great big sister, Leah crashed on the floor.
