Jemma Anne YaWen

She sure does LOVE her big brother! 
He has been such a blessing and we are so thankful we were able to bring him!
 
Gotcha Day was devastating... but this was a few hours later.
She is so very resilient!

 
The next day we had to return to the Civil Affairs office where we got Jemma and we were expecting it to be very traumatic.  But she and Jory played in the play area and she did amazing!

 
This is the Orphanage Director that Jemma clung to the day before... and the next day she posed for pictures with her and didn't even tear up!

 
She loves the computer and she loves my iPhone!
And she loves her GeGe!

Looking at her photo album with Baba

 
Rainbow over Nanning...
and we found the pot of gold!

 
God is GOOD!
and HE SETS THE LONELY IN FAMILIES!!!
