GOTCHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Forever Family

Let's go!! Load 'em up!!

Taking the elevator up to the Ceremony Room at the Civil Affairs Office. Only moments away now!!

Podium in the Ceremony Room. It got REALLY hectic from here and we didn't get any pictures. It was all over in a FLASH! There was a lady who came up to the podium and told us how much the people of China appreciated us adopting the orphans and how they know they are going to good homes with good families. It was very sweet. Then, they started calling out baby and family names! Jada was 3rd baby in the conference room:

She wasn't too upset, but she wasn't too happy! She just sort of looked at us for a long time. Brandi had her first and spent a good 5 minutes with her. She has this look on her face, I'm sure she's just taking it all in. She didn't cry, but she was ready to cry if she had to. Brandi wanted me to take her for a while, I reached, she pulled away. Brenda & Tut said I needed to take her so she would begin to get comfortable with me. So, I took her and she just put on a big frown for about 5 seconds and she was OK.

She's running a little fever and she's not eating yet. So, we're just reading to her and holding her for now. When she's hungry, she'll eat. She's gonna be a little overwhelmed for the night and probably a little tomorrow.

She's beautiful and she's ours! All Glory and Honor to Our God!!
