Meeting Tate
How can I accurately explain our feelings today? Overwhelming would be about the best description that I can come up with right now. We feel so blessed to have the opportunity to bring Tate into our family. His caregiver describes him as 'full of joy' and we agree. He is just a tiny little guy. Probably about the same size as Baby M- 2T. After about 20 minutes of playing it was time for his nap- mine too! :) I was sad when they took him away but also relieved that this dream in our hearts is actually coming true. The experience today was quite surreal.
Here is another short clip of Tate playing-

The tears keep falling--he's just beautiful! Thank you for sharing these moments with us.
I cannot put to words my joy in seeing those videos.I cried throughout the entire post.He is so darling.So beautiful and you are all so blessed.One of my favorite parts was when Mike just instinctively took Tate's tiny hand and was gently rubbing it.It was just a moment but that moment was,to me,beyond words.I am SO blogging about this tonight.I just wish my words could accurately describe the day.I'll try but I won't to it justice.Prayers to you all.Email if you can.Understand if you can't.
FINALLY! I can't stop crying. This day was ordained by God. I loved how he ran right to you. I kept hearing that man say "mama and poppa"...amazing! I'm so happy for you guys. I hope this eased the longing to be home with your other kiddos. He's got quite an arm!
so precious! He is adorable. I can't imagine how emotional that was to finally see him in person. I can't wait to meet him. Thanks for sharing the video...loved seeing him play with toys we sent too!
I'm crying at my computer! How wonderful for all of you. He is so precious! Thank you for letting us see this special moment in your family. Congratulations! I hope and pray that you can bring him home soon and that everything goes smoothly and quickly!
He is so stinkin cute! You have a beautiful family!
SO HAPPY FOR YOU!! That was so wonderful to see - thank you. I CAN'T WAIT to meet him. What a blessing you will all be to each other. P.S. Love the dude's laugh in the background. :)
How beautiful he is! How wonderful that he came right to you both. It brought tears to my eyes, to know that this beautiful little blessing will now have a family. Praise God! Our Jonathan throws everything too! I guess maybe the caregivers are so excited that they can use their arms that they clap? Who knows, but it's sure hard getting Jonathan to stop, it's been a year and it hasn't worked yet, lol. Be blessed with your new little son!
Oh, congratulations!! It's such a surreal experience, isn't it?? I am so thrilled you guys are there with your little one!!!
I'll be praying for you, that the rest of your time there goes as planned and continues to be a wonderful experience for you. =)
