It has been a few hours and we have had a little time collect our thoughts...
As Krista said this has been the most amazing and wonderful day ever!!!
When we got to the agency, I don't think we were really "nervous" but we were definately a bundle of nerves. We had been preparing for this day for a long time. It was very emotional. Not weeping or anything---exciting!!! It was very moving seeing the Foster Mom saying good bye to Grace. Krista and I both cried. You can tell she really loved our Grace. There was a definate language barrier but you don't have to understand what she is saying when you hear her talk to Grace. I imagine she was wispering in her ear that she loves her and will never forget her. Makes me cry.
They told us what we need to do when we leave, gave us a diaper bag and a baby carrier and it was time for us to go. It was very difficult leaving the Foster Mom. She was sad, Krista was crying, I was crying and it was pouring down rain. But, Krista gave her a hug and we left. Sniffling the whole way back to the hotel. Full of excitement.
Grace was pretty fussy at first. We think she was just really tired. She took a quick nap with Krista while I was at the bank. Then when I got back we played and she cried and then she feel asleep again. For about an hour and a half. Now Krista is feeding her and telling her all about her new home in Kentucky. Telling her about Scooter, Tom and Goldie. She is telling her that the animals will love her. Letting her know that there are many many people awaiting her arrival. She is almost a celebrity. Maybe not a celebrity but definately a Princess.
Here are a few more pictures.
Talk to you soon.
We will be home tomorrow.
Love,
The Yerics
John, Krista and Grace
P.S. We will post some more tonight.

The foster mother is a true earth angel. This posting was very heartwarming. She will always be a part of your lives.
