Gotcha Day
Long hard day today, but much has transpired.
Gotcha Ceremony was quite busy - about 50 families were expected for the day, maybe 20 were in the room while we were there. The Maoming folks were late, but we waited in the hot, crowded room.
Later, in the van headed back to the hotel, Lauren (Huan-Xing) started to cry quietly, but things were sorted out by the time we arrived at the Hotel. She cheered up a bit when we broke out the toys. She speaks no English, but we make do with motions and such and we've both learned a few equivalents.
More later...

What an awesome looking family!!!!!! Beautiful!! Can not wait until you all get home.
I am so glad to see smiles on everyone's faces; the long wait is finally over and a whole new adventure is beginning!
Hugs to all from the Blossoms
What a beautiful family! Can't wait to see the latest addition in person. Glad to hear that Leanne and Lauren are getting along so well -- they'll be best friends in no time.
Keep up the postings -- we're really enjoying them!
