Well, we finally have our Maggie! We just got back to our hotel from the adoption affairs bureau here in Guangzhou. Maggie was very upset to begin with which in turn made Molly very upset. It took a little while but with Steph holding her close she soon calmed and eventually showed us her beautiful smile. As I write she is playing on the bed, having a blast, with her Momma and big sissy! We are absolutely delighted and thrilled. Our long, long, long wait is finally over. Welcome to our family Maggie! Much more to follow but for now here are some pictures of our first few moments and hours with Maggie!

Congratulations!!! She is beautiful. Cannot wait to meet her!!!
She is so, so beautiful! I can't wait to meet her. You all look so happy. Finally the day you've been waiting for - it's amazing how the wait becomes a distant memory.
I love this quote from a fellow adoptive parent: "By choice, we have become a family, first in our hearts, and finally in breath and being. Great expectations are good; great experiences are better."
Savor this special time.
Congratulations, Cindy
