Ying-er 2006

We adopted our daughter Charlotte Xiao from China in 2006. ("ying-er" means baby in mandarin). This blog tells our story about building a family of 4, and the on-going joys/trials in our lives.

Gotcha Day!!

It has been an amazing, exciting, exhausting day. We are completely drained, and so is poor little Charlotte. The poor thing spent about 1/2 hour crying and then finally fell asleep at about 8:45 or so. Although she was fine at the Civil Affairs Office, she now seems quite scared and just clings to us. She is absolutely overtired, overstimulated and overwhelmed. But she is finally ours and she is also absolutely wonderful.

We are too worn out to post much, so we'll just let the photos do most of the talking and will post more detials tomorrow.



To the left - Here we are heading out on our adventure.


Our first few moments together. She was absolutely fascinated with us and spent a great deal of time exploring our faces.
