and we are thoroughly delighted to be able to finally hold our granddaughter..She is absolutely adorable and so well adjusted already. It's like she has been with her family forever!! She is very smiley and sleeps 12 hours at night. She is a wonderful eater and is mesmerized by her brothers. They share that enthusiasm and delight in talking to and holding her. They make sure she is well stocked with her toys and they love to tell her stories!!! For those of you that might not know, my daughter and son-in-law have been in the process of adopting a baby from China and they returned to the USA with her one week ago.. She is having her medical appointment today about her club foot and they will make the decisions about what is to be done!! We couldn't feel more blessed and I thank all of you that were so supportive during this anxious time for us. WE are ECSTATIC!!!! She is everything and more than we expected. They are such a beautiful family and so very happy. I just wanted to share our joy!!! May you all be blessed with wonder in your lives and be thankful for every day!!!

How wonderful! How old is the baby? That is great that she is adjusting so well. Children are wonderful. I have 2 of my own.

She just turned 1 yesterday and we had a huge party for her...lots of friends and family came to welcome her...she loved every minute of the attention and never seemed overwhelmed at all. She has really bonded with her new parents and brothers..she has huge smiles for them and also for us...She barely even had a time lag..and the 15 hour difference seemed like it would be a tough change!!! She loves her room and her new home..everytime she wakes up in the am or from a nap she looks around and begins to smile!! It is very heartwarming... We have friends that are also adopting from China and they will be due to complete their adoption next July as it stands now.. We are very blessed to have now 2 grandsons and 1 granddaughter!!
