We arrived at the agency for a paperwork meeting prior to the meeting scheduled with Morgan, but as we were waiting for our social worker, we saw a woman enter the building carrying a little thing - I remarked that she looked to be too little to be our Morgan - but, the woman recognized us from the picture we sent and indeed, that little baby was ours. The foster mother was kind enough to let us sneak a peak at her before we had to do paperwork.
About 15 mins later, we "officially" met her and fell in love. Her hair is crazy thick and her eyes are just the cutest. She walked into the room to meet us, very wobbly and little, but she is walking. She's very inquisitive, loves her toys and loves her foster mother. The foster mom and social worker left us alone in the room with her for a period of time and we SO enjoyed just playing with her and trying to convince her that we're okay people. Eventually though, she noticed that her foster mother was not in the room...it was naptime...she was sleepy and just didn't want anyone else. So, we got to comfort her for the first time too. It's clear to us that adjustment will be different this time around - she's 12 months old and has completely attached herself to the foster mother.
She took to Steve really well and almost preferred him to me...he even got to give her a naptime bottle before she had to leave. All in all we had a great first-time meeting...seems so surreal that we are here experiencing all of this again. We did receive wonderful pictures of Morgan's first birthday party held here at the agency - lovely pictures that will be lovely keepsakes for Morgan as she grows up!
Our next scheduled meeting with Morgan is this Thursday afternoon - we are to meet Sophie's foster mother in the morning and have lunch with Dr. Kim, the Director of Eastern that same day as well. I will try to post more pictures as the opportunity arises. I could tell you about the trip and all of our sight-seeing thus far, but I know what you really want today are pictures of Morgan...so, enjoy!

Oh Kristen - Morgan is so beautiful. Now that she is walking her little cheeks aren't quite so chubby. I can't even describe how wonderful it was to see you and Steve hold that little angel in your arms. I can't wait to meet her!!!
Ok - I just made a comment but I can't tell if it worked. Any way, if not, Morgan is beautiful. I can't wait to meet her :) I can't even describe how fantastic it is to see you and Steve holding your little angel. Soon you'll get to bring her home and the circle will be complete. See you soon, M
