We get to the Orphanage and they bring her and she cries, of course. BUT, she calmed much quicker this time. The caregiver calmed her a bit and then I showed her the markers and coloring book from yesterday. She came over right away to it and then the caregiver snuck out.
We had the BEST DAY we have EVER had with Selah today!!!!!!! Literally, Shane and I every so often would out loud say, "Thank you Lord for this"!!!!!
She gave us a glimpse of what she will be like once we get custody and have her everyday. She laughed like crazy today. She spoke to us in russian. She asked Shane to do things for her (this is HUGE). She interacted with us in ways she has never done before. I can't even describe it good enough in words right now. We are still on such a high from our time with her. :)
We will see her in the morning, but then will not be allowed to see her Sat or Sun, and we don't know about Monday either b/c of court. Whenever we have a break like this, she regresses back. So Tuesday will be difficult again. This is why we just need to have her everyday consistently. But we are just sooo happy to have had a glimpse today of what is to come! And of ALL days, God knew we needed it today (when we were at our lowest).

Praise God for your amazing day with Selah! She sounds like she is going to be a little ham. I can't wait to see that beautiful smile of hers and to hear her laughter. We miss you like crazy. We are praying for your court day on Monday and for a relaxing and restful weekend (as much as possible).
