Victory!

Well, so far we have the sleeping part down, too. She slept from 9:00 pm and it is currently 5:45 am and she is still sawing logs. Wish I could say the same for me and Darcie. Hopefully her sleep will keep up and ours will get better. We should be adjusted to the time change just in time to go back to the States.

At 8:30 this morning, we have to go to the Child Welfare Institute to complete the adoption paperwork, and then it will be official from China's standpoint.

What was funny about yesterday is after years of countless forms and paperwork, all we needed to pick up Allison was our passports! Then, we just walked out of the building with our kids, with nothing more than a smile and nod from Security.

    She is SO SO adorable! Her laugh is contagious. What a total sweetheart. And don't worry, you will have some sleepless nights along the way. But it will be SO SO worth it.

    Love and slobbery baby kisses all around,

    Jan, Geoff, Evan

  3. Today I had one of my worst days yet...that is, until I saw your pictures and video. I was so happy for all three of you, it made me cry. Your (collective) joy was contagious! We can't wait to meet her in the flesh.

    Love,
    Amelie & Rhonda
