Forever Family Day





We have our girlie!  We got to the Civil Affairs Office around 8:50AM, and she was there waiting with her nannies and orphanage director.  She cried when she was passed off to us, but has allowed us to comfort her.  It was quite a busy and hurried process this morning: we signed a bunch of paperwork, then headed to a shop (in an alley) to get photos for her passport and official documents, and then were rushed to the Notary' s office for the documents.  We arrived back to our hotel by 11:30AM, and she has fallen asleep in her crib.  She loves her thumb and the sippy cup with tropical punch pedialyte!  She also loves music and potato chips (we used these items to "bribe" her at the Civil Affairs Office).  We just introduced her to the kids (while she was sleeping) via Skype a few minutes ago!  She is waking up, so gotta go!  God has been so good and faithful!

We are so happy for all of you. We'll continue to pray for you all. Malaki and I were looking at all the pictures and he's excited to meet his new cousin.
