We Got Her!

We just arrived in Nanchang and were told we would be getting our babies today!!!!!

In about 20 minutes we head down to the lobby to go to the adoption place. We will have Mei in our arms within the hour.

I will post as soon as possible, however, the internet connection is not very good. That may prevent me from loading video today, but we shall see….

And away we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Just some more pictures.

She took her last bottle at 8pm and slept through the night. Her paperwork says that she usually sleeps from 8 to 6:30. We shall see. We are just praying that she does not freak out when she wakes up. Heck, I would, so please be praying.

We head back over to the adoption affairs place this morning. We have our interview with the orphanage, and we give our gift (cash) to them. I think we will give the Nanny gifts as well, as we are not sure if we will be going to the orphanage or not.

The adoption affairs building is like many here in China…about the same temperature inside as it is outside. I could see my breath in their yesterday. So, 3 hours of that will not be the most fun in the world, but then we have the rest of the day to ourselves.

Later I will write about being the ONLY American in the Super Happy Fun Go-Go Store!!! Mom, you think Wal-mart is a zoo…you ain’t seen nothing until you’ve been to Chinese store. It wasn’t even the Wal-mart, but it was crazy!

On to the pictures:
