It was a whirl wind of emotions and activity surrounding our meeting today. He was very attached to his foster mother and vice versa. She introduced him to us having him touch each one of our hands. It was hard for both of them to say goodbye. It was a very emotional morning. He has taken to Dave and at the momment wants nothing to do with me. But I am happy he is feeling safe with daddy and I don't think daddy minds to much either. Right now we are back at our hotel. Emily is playing mother hen and Jacob and daddy are playing with stacking cups eating fish crackers and fruity cheerios. I will post more later but here some pictures of our first meeting.

You will remember this day for the rest of your life. What a precious little guy, we are so blessed to have him in the family! He was worth the long journey of patience time, and travel- as was our Emily.
Love Mom and Dad
Manda wants to write to Emily:
Was it fun getting Jacob? Are you going to teach Jacob some words in our language? Are you having fun in Vietnam? I think its fun having a brother, now you have one too. What can he do? i can't wait for him to come over.
Now its my turn,
He has been pulling all our heartstrings for awhile, He has no idea either how many people back home can't wait to get their arms around him. Hugs to you all! enjoy every moment ( I know you will)
