Gotcha Day Revisited

I'm creating Sunder's adoption movie this week. It's been over 3 months since that hot muggy day in China when this toddler was placed in my arms. This moment was such a blur to me. I am so thankful for video! Seeing this footage for the first time is surreal. I didn't realize that she actually reached out to me when I held my arms out to her. One thing the video does NOT convey is the emotions we were feeling. We look much calmer than we really were! And oh... the look in Sunder's eyes. So confused and wondering "what the heck is going on". She was such a trooper that day and every day since.

What a wonderful day!! I can hear Henry in the background of your movie. It seems like it was forever ago.
