WE HAVE ZACHARY

YEAH!!!!!! We have Zachary! and yes, we all cried! Except Zachary! He has been so chill throughout the day. This is Teri by the way...mommy Melissa is busy changing her first diaper. Zachary is babbling to her as if he is giving her instructions...he has such a sweet coo. going to the orphanage today was surreal. We went with another couple also adopting, but from a nother orphanage. We went to Picasso first to get Zachary. It went really fast. We went into a formal room and had tea and waited a bit. The director and assistants joined us for a bit and then the nanny came in with Zachary and the director handed him to his very thrilled new mommy. He did not cry or look distressed...a bit confused maybe. He stayed very quiet as we rode to the other orohanage to get the other family's little girl, but he was very alert and interactive with us and with others in the van. he just totally relaxed in Melissas arms! He is already very attached to her and looks for her around the room when she is not holding him. He is simply the sweetest little guy! very loving and funny. We can already see his personanlity start to show. He had his first little meal with us, rice cereal they recommended at first. Loved it and finished it up. Tonight may be a bit difficult for him. I can not imagine how different this room is compared to the room of other cribs and babies he was in just last night. He is yawning though and rubbing his eyes, so hopefully sleep will come easy to him. Pray he continues to be comfortable and not fearful. He seems to be very secure. We had read that sometimes the little ones struggle with transtion and tend to not welcome cuddles or close physical touching for a while...while she was prepared to be patient if that was the case it is a sweet relief to see her snuggle him and him lean into her face for more love and kisses! he is going down fast and is almost asleep even as i type this....i'll log of for now, i want to help Melissa attempt one more feeding before he goes night night so we can hope for a little bit of sleep tonight :) thanks again for the posts and support. We'll try to get photos and video up soon.
