We have Baby Christian!!!
















He is beautiful and looks just like his pictures. He came to us without crying, but was sad once we got to the hotel room. We did get a couple of smiles and some giggles, but then he got sad. Jacob is heartbroken when he cries and tries to hug him and pat his back. It's so sweet.

They were a little late bringing him to the Civil Affairs Office, so we were looking out the window. We caught a glimpse of a man coming into the building holding him. We knew it was him becuse he is dressed in the same blue coat he had on in his birthday pictures.

Enjoy the pictures of our first meeting and we will write again soon. Thank you for your prayers for our family,

Hotel View




This is the night view from our hotel in Changsha. We had a delicious meal last night...on our own. 5 hours to baby Christian!! Jacob is very excited to meet his baby brother.

We're in Changsha!!!
















After a short flight this afternoon, we have arrived in Changsha. Our guide met us at the airport and brought us to our hotel. The weather here is much cooler than it was in Hong Kong. It's about 58 degrees and rainy. Helen, our guide, brought us to the grocery store to get us some supplies. We got many stares! Most people stared at us, but smiled at Jacob. I took a few pictures there.










The best part of today was finding out that we will meet our baby boy at 10:00 tomorrow morning! That's 10:00 Sunday night for ya'll. Hopefully I will be able to post some pictures of all of us together tomorrow.










Thanks for all of your prayers!

God Bless and thank you for your prayers.
