Gotcha!






At abour 2:30 PM (our time) while you were all sleeping (hopefully), we went to the civil affairs office an waited a short time in a reception room. We watched as the babies were brought in and I recognized Yuhao pretty quickly. She was the one smiling and playfully slapping her orphanage worker! We were called last and she came to us with no crying, no fuss. She was taking everything in, but was also very curious and allowed us to hold her as though she always knew us. She is a very sweet little girl and we are thrilled. Such a long road, but it was worth it! We spoke to the orphanage director also and got some additional information about her that we will relay later. Just too much to do now and I want to get back to everyone up in our room. All the babies were healthy and while one was terrified and cried at first, they are all seemingly settling in very nicely in such a short time. We will see how the next day or so goes. But for now, everything is perfect. Tomorrow is solid paperwork and such, so no pics or blog entry for that day are likely. But we will be touring around the day after so keep coming back and see what's new here. To sum it all up, I can't describe how it feels. Wonderfull, sureal, sweet, VERY HAPPY...all wrapped up in one. I also think of the gracious and selfless woman that did a noble and courageous thing for her daughter and for our family. When you look upon these pictures in the same hapiness we feel, please pray for the woman who gave this all to us, that she may know peace and solace. Take care all, and we will write back in a day or so to let you know how it's all going. Thanks to Karen for keeping you all up to speed. We couldn't do this without her! 73!
