We left our hotel at 9:30 a.m. to go to the government building where we were going to meet Samuel. We didn't realize that he had already arrived! He was waiting for us instead of the other way around.
We didn't have a chance to get our cameras out. However, another family with us had their phones out and quickly began to video tape the event of us meeting. I will upload the video once we receive it.
So for now, here are the pictures we were able to take of our first few moments together with Samuel:
Samuel seems to have quickly warmed up to us. Yes, he was scared at first and shed a few tears, but the children's Asian faces I think helped his transition.
Samuel is so very gentle and quiet. He reminds us of Andrew.
He is currently napping and sucking the index finger on his left hand--just like Andrew used to do. It's so sweet!
Everyone is getting along and the transition time is very smooth right now. I know that can quickly change as evening and darkness rolls around, but for now, there is peace and a sweet sense of calm over everyone.
Thank you for your many prayers for Samuel and our family! God bless you all!
P.S. Samuel is a bit under the weather, so please keep up the prayers for him. ❤

Continued prayers for Samuel's first days, his transitioning, as well as being under the weather :( Continued prayers also for your whole family as you move into this stage together. He is so precious, all the children are! Congratulations on another little boy :) So happy for your family!
