We can't describe the emotions of being in a room full of parents waiting for their children to arrive. You reflect on how long this process has been. And the 16 families who before this journey had never known each other - but after 4 days together working through the final preparations had become one big family. We waited and one by one a family's child is carried into the room.
It happens sort of randomly - when representatives from various orphanages arrive with kids in their arms. You hear chants of baby names and then emotional screams of joy
Of course, Lena was in the last group. We knew it was her in an instant.
One of the most emotional days ever.
