Surprise

A quick update - we arrived at the adoption agency expecting to meet DJ, the adoption representative with Holt, and then travel to the foster family's home to see Isaac. But when we went downstairs to the parking lot...the foster father was there holding Isaac!

Isaac is so beautiful! He was smiling at first and waving. The foster father was pointing to us saying to Isaac 'Omma' and 'Appa' (which means mommy and daddy). When the foster father started to hand him over to Sharon for a hug, he started to tear up a little. So Sharon gave him a hug and kiss and handed him back to the foster father.

It turns out that they had to bring Isaac to the agency for his final medical appt. DJ did not know that they were going to be there. Brent was a little late with the video but managed to get a little.

We are now following the foster family in their car to their home. It is about an hour away...just about enough time to compose ourselves.

More to come!
