Your daughter is beautiful! I have a 7 yr old son from S. Korea. He was 6.5 months old when we brought him home. The FM had taken pictures of him his whole time with her and the family. He was pig piled with cousins, cuddled by her teenage twin daughters, slept on the futon with the family etc. It was wonderful to get a glimpse of his life before us. Filled with joy. I have written elsewhere about our wonderful experience of bringing him home on the airplane. We flew a Korean airline and the flight attendants helped us rock him to sleep. They took him in the galley and sang and danced for him. We walked him endlessly around the huge plane. We were the only caucasions on the flight and people would reach out and take him from us and walk a lap. They would pass him around and walk. It was a wonderful feeling. We never felt unsafe or anything. IT as more like it takes a village feeling to get us all through the long flight. Well, I could go on, but you get the picture. Delight!
