Kahlia is safe in our arms!

It has been an AMAZING day!!! I didn't sleep well last night - thinking about what all today would bring, but looking back, there was nothing to worry about. We met Rajeev for breakfast before heading to Shakti's orphanage. On the way, we picked up Rajeev's assistant Bina. She was also very helpful through out the day. When we first saw her, Scott and I both had tears in our eyes. She had on a cute little dress, and she came right to both Scott and myself with out even a whimper. She just came to us, looked at us, and seemed perfectly content in our arms - what a blessing!! They had a short ceremony for us where they put a little red dot on all three of our foreheads - not sure what exactly it meant - but we took pictures anyway! :-) Then, we took a tour of the orphanage - from all the rooms to even the kitchen. There are about 40 children in the orphanage - ranging from 3 days old (she was SO cute!:) to 9 years old. Children under 6 months old are down stairs, and all the other children are upstairs. When we walked upstairs - we were absolutely amazed - Kahlia had her very own room - where only she slept. Because of all her medical needs, they had her in a room right next to the doctor's room when he visits. She does not walk or even crawl - but she does roll around. Watching her today, I think if worked with, she should at least be crawling fairly soon. We let her take a nap in her room one last time after she had a little food (she still eats rice cereal). From there we went straight to the airport to catch our flight back to Delhi. She has been SO good. She has barely cried, cuddles with us, and has a fun little personality. She went straight to sleep when we arrived here at our hotel - it was 10:15pm, and she was TIRED! She had her first airplane ride and did very well. Rajeev has made our trip so easy and stress free. It has been such a blessing to have him by our side through out this adoption process. Tomorrow we go to the embassy to finish our final paperwork and get her visa. I am exhausted, I will write more tomorrow.
