Lucky!

Wow! What an eventful and amazing beginning to our trip of a lifetime. Our 24 hour delay in Taipai was extremely comical, yet stressful. Nobody, including the airlines knew what the heck was going on. We barely made our flight, and our airlines was even in charge of getting us there on time! I think we even lost a passenger in a wheelchair on the way-no lie!
We finally arrived in Hanoi and at our hotel at 12:15 and found out that we could still make it to the orphanage to get Mya at 1:00. The bad news was that our room wasn't ready yet, and we couldn't change the clothes that we had been wearing for three days, or get the gifts ready for the nannies. We were finally allowed into our room, with 15 minutes until we left for the orphanage. Boy, did we scramble!! We did pretty well and ended up only forgetting to grab the gifts for the orphanage directors. We were quite frazzled when we arrived at Dong Anh (which might explain the poor photography on my part) but by God we made it!! Our sweet baby girl was waiting for us when we arrived and all of the stress and worry simply faded away. She is a dream come true! We love the way she squeezes us tightly, rubs her cheek against ours, and kisses us smack dab on the lips!! My heart absolutely melted today when we took Mya to the SOS clinic to get checked out. When the Vietnamese nurse took Mya to weigh and measure her, she began to cry huge crocodile tears. As soon as she was returned to me she instantly stopped and gave me a big hug. We just feel so grateful and blessed to have finally been united with our beautiful daughter. I have been trying to post the video of getting Mya, but am having some trouble doing so. I'll keep trying!
