We have finally met our precious little girl and have her in our arms after our long journey. We have to say that it was worth every minute of the wait. At 3:00 PM Monday afternoon, we met in the lobby of our hotel with another couple that is here with us from Holt to adopt their second little girl for a short bus ride to a welfare hotel to meet Katie Xuebin. She is everything we hoped for and more. We can't believe that we get to take this sweet little ladybug home with us. Now it is Tuesday morning and we are off to the Office of Civil Affairs to finalize the adoption. I have uploaded a few pictures and will post more detail later.

You just need to know you are one LUCKY LITTLE GIRL! Your Daddy T and Mommy K love you like no other....SERIOUSLY!!! Cant' wait until you get here cause we are going to SPOIL YOU ROTTEN (and then give you back to your daddy and mommy!) Paybacks to you Uncle T!! Oh, and we don't have wood floors, a portable keyboard piano, or a 2-story house! (ask your daddy about that one! LOL!)
See you soon BIN BIN!!
