She's here.
Mia finally arrived today.
As soon as I saw her I knew she was my baby girl. It was just something in me that screamed 'thats my child'. I have to admit, she's very cute.
Lupe Rivera, owner of the Rivera Orphanage in Lemon Creek came to hand Mia over, and make sure she was ok in her new home. I think she was pleasantly surprised. And, off the record, that woman sure can dance!
Of course, she had to give me the obligatory 'this is how you take care of a baby' speech, which I was more than happy to listen to. It has been quite a while since I've had a baby in the house.
Mia seemed to have a great time, playing with all of her new toys, exploring the house. She even took her first steps! Right in front of my eyes! I almost cried!
I'm sure little Mia was tired from the trip, I put her to bed without a problem. She just lay down and went to sleep, what a good little girl. Lupe and I said our goodbyes, and promised to keep in touch with each other.
I hope Mia will be happy here. I guess its lucky she's so young, she wont remember her previous family, or the pain of being taken away from them. Hopefully, her life will only be full of good memories, happy memories, and memories of a father that loves her, very, very much.
I'm so happy for Parker! Here's hoping Mia and Parker will make the best of things. :)
