We've got her!!!

The hand off started smoothly with Sarah reaching out to Momma's outstretched hand and sitting on her lap, but she soon went looking for the director. She seemed quite attached to Director Han, who is a very kind man and tried to help her know her new family. After some tears, the director left to give us space to get to know her. She quieted down in the van back to the hotel. A toy session, a pillow fight, bubble bath and a hat toss later, we all had a grand evening of fun. We all settled down to a good night's sleep and she woke with a smile this morning. Off to do more paperwork this morning, but another day of play ahead.

I can't figure out the photo load right now, so will try later. We are all doing well, especially Elizabeth who is a great big sister.

Hello Sarah, Elizabeth, Nancy, and Reese,

We just read your message together as a family - and of course Mom cried tears of joy for your family. We are so happy for all of you. We can't wait until you get home.

All our love,

The Benson Family
