Yesterday June 26th we didn't have much to report. It was a long day of travel to get to Changsha (where we are now) from Beijing. These are a couple of pictures outside of our window in our hotel room.
This morning (the 27th) around 9;40 we set off to the Civil Affairs office to meet Sadie. I was a hot mess. Just tired bc I didn't sleep hardly at all the night before and just nervous. I was so afraid of how she would react to us when she met us. Just a few minutes after 10 she came walking in. Beautiful as ever. She was reserved but she didn't cry. Her caregivers told us that she told them last night that she couldn't wait until today to meet her family. She was so brave. We brought her a back pack full of new toys to play with and she was very into that. She is scared of Keith a little. She really won't let him hold her or touch her much but she is laughing at him when he jokes with her and I don't think it will be long before they are best of friends. (If Brennan allows it;)
This is Sadie just a moment after she was handed to us.
She did let Keith hold her long enough to get this picture but thats about the extent of it.
Sadie mostly only has eyes for this girl. She loves Maggie. They have been BFF's from the get go. We are so glad we brought her along with us.
This is Sadie's caregiver. You could tell she loved Sadie and that Sadie loved her.
Seriously could she even be any cuter? We were told she loves being told she is pretty. When our guide was taking our pic she told Sadie you are so pretty and look at her little smile!
Being goofy with her daddy. So I brought her a ton of hair bows and headbands. That is possibly her favorite things she has. She wanted to wear them all. Like at the same time. Haha. Her caretaker told us she is very girly and she was right. We will be painting nails very soon.
This is at the Civil Affairs office. I guess her caretaker taught her how to do a peace sign when you get your picture taken. She does it all the time. Its totally hilarious.
I will post more pictures soon. Maybe on my FB page. I am so exhausted I can't even upload the ones from my phone at the moment;)
It has been quite a day. I couldn't have planned for this day to go any better than it did. She is a beautiful girl. Fearfully and Wonderfully made by our God. We are so humbled to have been called to the honor of being her parents. We have loved her for months now but having her here with us is unexplainable. Thank you for all your prayers and support. We love you all and can't wait for you guys to meet our sweet girl.
Connor, Sam, and Brennan- You guys are going to love your sister. She is cute and funny. She isn't chubby like Brennan though. She is smaller than him I think. She really likes Maggie and she is very girly:) We are going to have to teach her about Power Rangers and Pokemon and Playstation. Would you guys wake up already so I can facetime with you??? I can hardly wait! Love you guys! Mom
