Exactly one year ago, we met our son Nathan for the first time! Gotcha Day is an adoption term meaning the day the parent and child meet for first time. So it isn’t a word I just made up. 🙂
I remember looking for a 1yr old that was either crawling or walking. When we arrived at the orphanage administration office, the office worker told me that the boy running around the furniture is my son! I was thinking ‘WOW, that boy can run!’
When I first saw him, I was afraid to approach him because I didn’t know what to do. Then again, since he was running so fast, how was I even able to stop him and talk to him? 🙂
Also when I first saw him, all I can think about were his yellow clothes especially his pants with a slit in the middle that exposed his damp diaper!
Look at him now!
