We made it to our hotel, Grand Beijing, at 1:00 am and had to be up at 5:30am in order to met our precious daughter Hope!
We have spent the majority of the day getting passport photos, meeting with government officials in charge of adoptions, giving finger prints, etc. but most of all loving on our new daughter.
She is energetic, quick witted, intelligent, and fits perfectly into our family. Nathan said, "she is the prettiest of all the children who we met today and that he is happy to have a little sister." Abigail has been an instant big sister and second mother to Hope. We have all been sharing hugs and kisses (sugar) since we met.
We all spent the end of the day swimming in the hotel pool, constructing puzzles, and painting with water colors. It has been a glorious day and Hope is beyond our expectations for our family (JIATING).
Congratulations! What a precious family that looks complete now that Hope is in the picture. Thanks for the update. We will continue to pray for you. We love ya'll!!!!!
