We FINALLY met our son....and it was so special...

We finally got to meet Ro and it was so wonderful to hold him in our arms! The first meeting went way better than we ever anticipated! When we first arrived and walked in within a couple of seconds he came around the corner to greet us. He is such a little thing....so much smaller than he looks in all the pictures that we have seen. And if it is even possible he is even sweeter in person.
When he came out to meet us he was very shy and reserved. He came up to both Chris and me and said "hello" and gave us both a kiss on each side of our faces. Then we decided to pass out all the treats and toys that were being donated so that all the children could play. This broke the tension and you could tell he felt a little more at ease.
I also want to take the time to let all of you that donated little toys/ books/ and puzzles to the orphanage how much they LOVED everything. Thank you again so much!
Our Lil Ro in particular passed up all the toys and went straight for the soft sided puzzles. He sat there the whole time with Chris playing with these. Chris went through each of the three puzzles once with him and after that he almost had them memorized. Chris would tell him when to "turn" the pieces to fit and he understood. He would do all three puzzles and then do them all over again. He always wanted all three completed at the same time. He sat in my lap while he was working on the puzzles as well. He let me give him some of my drink through the straw and let me know when he wanted some more. He seemed to be very happy and content that this was all for him....and that this was HIS turn to get the attention. :)
After this, we picked him up and held him for a little while and we have an adorable pic of him kissing Chris' cheek....It was so precious. It was like he was really holding on and did not want Chris to let him go.
When it was time to leave he walked us to the door and we blew kisses and he was blowing us kisses back.
I really do not think this meeting could have gone any better and it really exceeded all of our expectations.

Unfortunately our laptop battery is dead and the adapters that they gave us at the hotel do dot work for the laptop....so we are unable to post pics at this time. It will probably be a couple of more days.

Tomorrow (Monday) we go back to the Vinh Long Center and have a second visit with Ro. Then on Tuesday we will pick him up and go straight to our official ceremony. Once the ceremony has been completed we will head back to Ho Chi Minh City. This is when we will probably have all the necessary resources we need to get the pics posted for all of you to see.

We will post again tomorrow after we have our second visit with Ro...... :)

Love you all!!!
