Gotcha Day!

Happy Mother's Day!

We met Lydia at the Civil Affairs office in Xi'an at about 5 pm local time.

Lydia was very sad to be saying goodbye to the nannies who have cared for her for her entire life.

She cried a lot, but calmed down a bit, then fell asleep during the 45-minute drive back to the hotel.

She has been doing better the last few hours.  She had some fun playing with Caleb and Jonathan this evening (Rachel was asleep).

We were able to Skype with Silas this evening so he could meet her.  Rachel just woke up a few minutes ago (just as it was time to lay Lydia down for the night).

We leave early tomorrow morning (Monday) to go back to Civil Affairs to finalize the adoption.
