Gotcha Day




"Surreal", is the only way to explain yesterday.
We departed Hong Kong at 11:30 and after a 1.5 hr flight we arrived the the provincial capitol city of Nanchang. We took a bus 30 min into the city to our hotel and shortly settled into our rooms. At 3pm, all of the families met in a conference room where we had a child preparation meeting with our local CCAI representatives. Immediately following the meeting at 5, we were asked to go back to our rooms and they would contact us that Kylee had arrived. At 5:15 pm, we received the phone call that the babies had arrived and to meet back near the conference room. The CCAI reps would call our names in alphabetical order one family at a time and bring the baby to us. Needless to say, we were jumping out of our skin with anticipation. After all other families had received their babies, our names were called. There appeared a man holding the most beautiful little girl, our Kylee.
Our hearts are full!
Other than a cold, Kylee is healthy and adapting to her new environment.
