A Look Back: Emilyn Day

The day was finally here!  We were ushered into a waiting room at the orphanage.  We met the director and some other workers, plus multiple nannies.  I was given all sorts of gifts and mementos, from statues to artwork from children living there to two beautiful picture/memory books!  But, I just wanted to hold my baby.  The anticipation was excruciating. Then, in she came. When she was handed to me, the crying started.  She was so very loved by her nanny.  But, the attachment came fast and furious.  Seriously, the easiest attachment ever! I was completely in love!! Through the amazing technology of WeChat, Mark got to "be there" before we left the orphanage.  He got to see his daughter and be a part of the excitement!


We had lots of paperwork to complete.  So, we did a quick diaper and clothes change at the hotel and off we went to get paperwork done and make her official!!



That night we celebrated with some KFC.
