Yesterday upon receiving our child, we were still only considered by the Chinese government to be guardians of the child. Today we went back to complete paperwork to officially become the adoptive parents of our children for the rest of our lives! Yes! Now no one can ever take our precious Emma away from us.
We decided yesterday almost immediately upon getting to know our baby girl that she really is an Emma and that Emileen is just too grown-up for her right now. I just look at her and she has Emma written all over her and it suits her so well. So she's officially nicknamed Emma and as only time will tell, she may grow into Emileen. At this point, I don't want her to grow at all because she's just the perfect size--she's a little pumpkin and fits perfectly into my arms and we don't get tired at all carrying her. We noticed so many of the other parents are really feeling the weight of their babies (which is good--don't get me wrong--but we're just appreciating our light little load right now!)
After signing the papers, we became the official forever proud parents of Emileen Kendall Moore (aka: Yi Ru Ge, aka: Emma). Can't believe this has finally happened! Thank you God for this incredible blessing in our lives.
