Hi Vicki... Even though I only have one DD, I had to vote for "Love at first sight AND Other". I was soooo full of emotions at the airport.... First, I didn't think that DD had gotten on the plane (summer hosting program), as there wasn't a child that looked like the photo sent to me. Then I was told that the littlest one, dressed for winter (Jul 23rd, and 92F outside) with a crew cut (seriously looked like a little boy), and soooo scared and crying was my DD!!!! I was shocked, sad (for her), worried that she wouldn't like me, was she sick, did they switch children, etc. As soon as she was brought over to me, and I presented her with fresh flowers, introduced myself (and translator explained who I was and that I was nice), and she smiled at me. Then it was off for a VERY long walk to the car (JFK airport... you all know the distance to walk - yuck). We started, and she looked soooo tired and weak.... I picked her up, she threw her arms around my neck, and wouldn't let go, even when we got to the car!!!! Not 10 hours later, she is waking me up (3:30AM) playing with my bangs, and saying in a soft sweet voice.... "MaMa, MaMa, MaMa".... I lost it... tears, and my HEART!!!!
