Dear Family and Friends,
We are here in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, China. We got here Sunday morning at about 11 am. We got to the hotel at about noon or a bit later and learned we would be getting our babies at 4PM that day! I was pretty nervous the last hour before we left for the Civil affairs office. My stomach was stuck in my throat for some strange reason!
We only had to cross the street to get to the office but it was a harrowing experience! The traffic here is unbelievable. New York and Boston have nothing on these drivers!
The babies arrived a little late to the office, but it was exciting nonetheless. We were the only two families in the room at the time. Sophie was smiling and happy right from the start. The other little girl, Brooklyn, cried non stop for the next hour and a half. The only time she didn't cry was when, believe it or not, was when PAUL held her!!! She actually starting screaming when her new mom or dad came near her! She only wanted Paul!.
Sophie has been sleeping through the night from the start. She is such a good baby! Very funny little thing. Wish I could post pictures but can't as I didn't bring a computer and am using the business center at one yuan per minute!
Yesterday we went to the notary office and police station to complete paperwork and are now waiting for her passport before we leave for Guangzhou and our consulate appointment.
Here is a message from Sophie.
vbu iiibbbbb zx nf7fffffffgggggggggggggggggg
For those of you who read baby Chinese, you will understand what she is saying, for the rest of you, too bad - looks like you are out of luck!
Need to close for now.
Love you all,
Blessings,
Chinamom and Sophie

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH... you HAVE her! You HAVE Sophie! Yea!!!!!!!!!!!! Praise God, Jeannine! I can't wait to meet her. Pastor asks for prayer for you, Paul & Sophie every time we have a service... so we are praying! Love you! Kirsten
Oh Jeannine!! Chris and I are laughing remembering that traffic! Also, when we went for Kaileen, the other baby cried the entire time she was with her new parents. The only time she didn't cry was when someone else held her. Sounds like you are having the same experience. We can't wait to hear more about it and are praying for your safe return.
Love you - Michelle, Chris, and the girls
I am soooo excited! I can't wait until you are back. I can only imagine how full your heart is right now, now that you have Sophie in your arms.
Love
Tricia

Jeannine - congratulations on finally meeting and being with your special little one - I'm sure she is very much worth waiting for. We are all following your progress at the hospital, and are so happy for you.
Best wishes for a safe return home, to continue your lives together - Mal
