WE
HAVE OUR LITTLE GIRL!
We have our little girl!!! Our appointment was at 2:30 in
the afternoon, and it was the longest wait yet. We met our
guide in the lobby at 2:15 and had a fifteen minute ride
to the place where we met Zoe.
We just walked in and started filling out paperwork when
they called our name to meet our little girl. I was
already crying at this point and could not believe my eyes
when I finally seen her come out. She had a nanny behind
her that kept edging her forward, I reached out for her
and she started backing up. So I went ahead and picked her
up and she cried her little head off. She cried for about
3 minutes and then we remembered we had brought treats for
her. We sat down on the couch and started feeding her and
she stopped crying right away. She is even more beautiful
in person! We showed her all of her toys from her backpack
and she really liked her princess phone, I showed her how
to push the button to make it light up and she copied me.
We sat for about half an hour taking turns holding her and
then spoke with her nanny about her history. Another
little boy from her orphanage was being adopted the same
day and kept calling out to her Mei Mei (meaning sister),
he even ran over and gave her his sucker and traded for
her phone.
After another fifteen minutes it was time to go
back to the Hotel. We came back and talked with Conor, My
mom and also Steve's mom on skype and let them see her, it
was after midnight their time. Since she was doing so well
we decide to take her out to eat and she ate at her first
restaurant Lucy's, we ordered her some Chicken congee and
she ate it all and even nibbled on a french fry. We even
got a few shy smiles at dinner. Now she is in our bed with
a warm water bottle watching TV. Enjoy the pictures!
Boys you are now big brothers to a little sister!!!
Love you all
