Gotcha Day!


My's Families- the family giving and the family receiving


Biological Mother and I- I only hope that she can feel my love and good wishes for her to have a happy life.  It is my hope that she knows that her baby will have a wonderful life full of love and opportunity.




This is Linh, one of My's nannys.  We were able to meet with her and learn about My's schedule, her likes and dislikes and other info that would set her up for sucess.



Steve and Natalie- waiting for My to arrive, waiting for the ceremony....waiting and waiting....

My has arrived- she looks a little worried.   The nanny is in purple.  The lady in red is a family member.




I sent this photo book to My some time ago.  They showed it to her often and she knew that we were mom, dad and sister when she saw us.


Candy eases the tension!

Natalie was so happy to finally be able to give My the teddy bear she bought for her so long ago.


The officials....


Very Happy Mom and Dad signing the paperwork.




TThe GOLD!  A fully signed adoption order.

The giving and receiving families with the director of the Social Welfare Center where My has called home for 3 years.


A very happy mommy
