12/18 Some more pictures

Here are a few more pictures of gotcha day (adoption day) and eating breakfast in the hotel (noodles, sausage, fruit, cuttlefish balls, dumpings and hashbrowns -- using a fork and chopsticks)

Jen is so precious. We heard the wonderful news that ten of her friends are being adopted by Americans this year. We know some of their parents already and are sharing in the joy. To give you since of size in these photos, I am 6'2" and Kristy is 5'7". The vice director of the orphanage is standing next to Kristy.

My thoughts are disjointed at the moment so I know we are lacking for content here but the photos should tell the story for now. Thank you for all your love and prayers.

We can't wait for you to see her and share our joy.
Steven and Kristy

I can't stop staring at the photos!!! Shell-shocked look starting to be replaced with a more comfortable, relaxed one.
Every day just gets better and better!

We're so happy for you both. She is adorable and you already look like a family. Even if she can't understand you, I'm sure Jen can sense what kind, wonderful people you are. She has a bright future filled with happiness and love. We love that she was in tradition dress on gotcha day, but she looks too cute in pink. We haven't been able to keep the smiles off our faces all morning.

All our love from Kenosha

Huge congratulations on your beautiful new family member! Our daughter was adopted from Zhuhai in July '06, and I've been following your journey. Brings back so many memories. Enjoy this time, it really goes so fast!
