What a true blessing to have Viktorija here...FINALLY!! She is precious in every way!! It was all I could do to hold back the tears. One of my many fears was that she wouldn't know how to accept love. That was immediately put to rest when she came up to me and gave me a hug. I thought I would have to be the initiator. I was so deeply touched by that. We were fortunate to be able to share this moment with my mom, sister, and Mike's parents, who were also at the airport to greet her. She does know a few words..."yes", "thank you", and "no". I think she will pick up on words quickly.
Another touching moment was when I showed her her room. I had been collectimg some crafts, books, puzzles, etc, and was saving them in a big tub. When I told her that was for her, she gave me another hug and said "thank you".
I praise our wonderful Lord for allowing us to meet this special little girl and spend time with her. I'm already in love!!
Keep those prayers up....we thank you all for that!!

Stay tuned.......
