I just got a 30 second phone call from Gwenn letting me know that they have Jessa!! In the traveling that Jessa did have to do to get to the Social Welfare Institute (where Gwenn and Nathan were meeting her), she cried the entire time, working herself up into a frenzy. She cried the whole time through the initial meeting and being handed over to them. She then promptly threw-up all over Nathan (in Gwenn words—A LOT!!) And Gwenn said that that was proof that she is definitely their child. (Their boys have had throw up issues at times…..this isn’t new territory for them.) Gwenn said because of the “mess” they had to return to the hotel, clean up, and have spent over an hour getting Jessa calmed and asleep. This has backed everything up a bit. They are heading back over to do the paperwork very soon, and because of this delay they have not had time to shop for the orphanage as they have planned so things are going a bit slower than they first thought they would go this morning. But in spite of all the excitement Gwenn sounded extremely JOYFUL!!
Oh, poor sweetheart. But oh, HAPPY DAY! You probably won't even get to read this until you get home, but I decided that I couldn't wait any longer to express our love and joy in all that you are experiencing. We are so excited for you on this day. We carry big smiles across our faces as well and we can't wait to hear how the day progressed. It is our prayer that sweet Jessa will soon recognize the love you all have for her and that this will be a comfort to her. We love you all so much and feel so priviledged to share in this experience with you.
