Gotcha Day!

WOW!  Words cannot describe what a day of emotions!  Good news is we have our little Chelsie.  Things happend so fast (all three families received their little ones within 3-4 min) that we did not get a lot of pictures and did not have time to pass the cameras.  However, one of our travel mates did get a few that he will be sharing with us.

Below is a picture right before we left to get our girls.  Veronica our guide is third from the right.  She is absolutely wonderful not to mention GREAT with the girls.



Below is a picture just inside the Civil Affairs Office where all adoptive families in the province went today and picked up their children.

It is truly amazing what our little one can do.  The Nanny from the orphanage told us that she lays on her right side to eat and to be sure to place a towel under the side of her head as she drools alot and you you don't want it running down into her ear.  Victoria (our guide) came to the room to help us out with her 1st feeding.  We started using one of the fast flow nipples we brought, however she was not able to get anything out.  The orphanage did give us a bottle to use for her, but when we looked at it Victoria said well you can see why she is losing half of it down her face.  It was cut and your index finger will fit completely through it.  So we cut a bigger hole in the fast flow nipple and you see can below that she didn't lose a drop!

Later in the evening we got our first laughs from Chelsie.  Sorry the video is not of good quality, but we'er sure you'll agree that hearing that precious laugh is worth watching the grainy video.

Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes.  Love to all.
