DRUMROLL PLEASE: MEET GABRIELA MERCEDES ANLI

Today was a seriously exciting day. We finally ended up meeting Ms. Gabi around 6:40 pm. Up came our guide Yan, the orphanage director, and 2 of the caretakers. They were very nice people, but the best was watching Gabi for the first time. I will write out more tomorrow because I am still quite overwhelmed, but even the director commented that it was obvious that fate had had a hand in Gabriela being part of our family. She also said that my eyes just looked like Gabriela's, which my husband had also commented upon before. She did not cry, and was smiling almost from the get go. Love her toothy grin with those 2 teeth in her bottom. The ped came later and examined her and found her to be perfectly okay. Sebastian was also the best. He did not want to let go of his sister, and asked me before going to sleep whether he had been a good big brother. He also wanted to sleep right next to the crib. I just love my children. OMG, our family is really complete. We are officially four in our house.
p.d- The picture of the white haired man with us is Dr. Jerry, who is a travelling doctor. He is a wonderful man with a lot of passion for what he does. We were so happy to have him with our group.
