Oh my gosh, these are amazing photos of your sweet little girl. I am sitting here crying. At first I was thinking wow, this is a very thoughtful child. You can see in the first few photos Charlotte watching, analyzing and taking it all it. Finally you see a few teeth. Then lot's of teeth and lot's of joy!!!! I am so happy that she has accepted the joy you bring her. Adoption is such a miracle. Enjoy your first days together. It is an important bonding time for all of you! Enjoy every moment. I've read your posts for a long time. And I'm so happy you are finally holding your little girl!
