This has been such an amazing day. We arrived in An Giang at about 1pm. We got settled, had lunch and headed to the orphanage at about 3:30. Our first meeting with Claire was wonderful. She is such a sweetie. They handed her to me, and she just smiled. It was like she really had been waiting on us. The nannies are amazing, and really do love those kids. We spent about 2 hours with Claire and the other kids. They really seemed to enjoy the toys we brought. We also brought some picture books, and that was a huge hit. We will go back tomorrow and Friday, and then our Giving and Receiving ceremony is Saturday morning at about 9am. We can't wait to actually leave with her. We love her so much! We are exhausted, and will post agian when we get some time.
