Merry Christmas To Us!

We have Lia Kate! We have had her in arms since about 3:15 this afternoon. She is beautiful, and tiny and precious and also very sad and bewildered right now. More pictures and details to come shortly but wanted to get this picture up.

Congratulations on Lia Kate! We are a fellow Lifeline family who traveled last February.(Tell Rebecca the Mansfield Family said hello!) Lia Kate is beautiful. I can't wait to see more pictures in the coming days. Adoption has forever changed me. Just wait, it is an amazing adventure! We will be praying for you all as you transition to a family of four.

What a sweet family picture! I really feel like Lia Kate will progress so much in the next couple of days as she gets to know you and Danny. She is so precious...can't wait to see more of her!! Hope she sleeps well tonight so you can get some rest.

Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow! She is adorable; we will keep praying for a smooth transition for her and the Giffen family!

Emily,
This is Ashley in Gadsden. I've enjoyed your blog so much because our little girl is in Shantou, which is in the same province as your Lia Kate. It's giving us some idea what to expect when we travel.:) I have been checking the blog every few hours to see if you had posted your Gotcha photos. I will pray for you guys... it will all be fine. She is so precious. I can't imagine what you are feeling right now. So, so happy for you.
