We were presented with the medical history of our daughter, and brief information of how she is doing now.  The reports were perfect - as is she!  We then gathered in the Green Room - surrounded by walls of photos of children and families from all over the globe.  You can't help but think you are maiking a small piece of history at that moment, and that someday it will also fill a space on the walls.  When we return this week, we will look for Luke's photos.  Maria Teresa, Flor, Mercedes,  her daughter Elena, and her granddaughter Juliana were all there with us.  It was Elena's 1st visit to FANA since the birth of Juliana, and the children of FANA had prepared a welcome sign for her and the new baby!  Unfortunately, Elizabeth, the head nurse was on vacation in Minnesota for their annual FANA weekend.  We missed that she was not part of the celebration, but we will see her soon.  Alonso Castellanos was also present.  He was the gentleman who gave us the referral of Sophia, so it was very meaningful to us that he could make it too.

The Covelli's (Ron & Paula) were presented with their daughter first.  Alonso had the honors of carrying her into the room.  This allowed us to pour out our emotion and tears first, and be all smiles for Sophia.

Next it was our turn.  Sarah held tightly to Luke, to keep from losing control, and Paul grinned from ear to ear.  Mercedes, accompanied by a special guest, presented Sophia Elizabeth to us.  I cannot put the JOY into words, but hopefully the pictures we share with you will tell the story...
