Jenna Comes Calling

Today we had our final "post placement home visit." China requires reports six and twelve months after the adoption is finalized so our social worker, Rebecca, came down from Portland. Conveniently, she also had six-month-visits to do with two other families in town, a one-year-visit with the Lymans (and the first home visit for their next adoption), plus Dan and Sandi Mortinson drove over from Rogue River with their daughter, Jenna, for their first follow-up review.

Since they were in town anyway, Dan and Sandi came by for a visit. They went to Western Baptist with us, Jeannette was in their wedding and Sandi was in our wedding 23 years ago. MelodyJoy had just woken up from a nap when they arrived so it took her a few minutes to warm up to 17-month-old Jenna, but they were soon getting along just fine . . .

When it was time for them to leave, we told the girls to give each other hugs, which resulted in these great photos. Sorry if there are too many but I couldn't bear to leave any of them out . . .
