Gotcha Day - We have our son!





We arrived at the Guangdong Adoption Center around 2, just a few minutes before Aaron arrived (or "Sing Sing" as he is called, and we are calling him for the time being). He was very quiet, calm, and happy. I must say it was a bit chaotic with the different families and some children crying. We were able to leave quickly, as we had been the first family to arrive and get our child.
He is WONDERFUL. He is a really good size, full of energy and very smart.
He fell asleep on the car ride back to the hotel, leaning against me and what a wonderful feeling!
Now we are back in the hotel getting to know each other. Rupert's working on his Mandarin! Aaron already learned banana in English.
Just wanted you to know we have our son and we are in LOVE.
We have paperwork to fill out tonight, and dinner to figure out.
