Gotcha Day!











November 1, 2008 - our "Gotcha Day" with Anna. Russ and I met with the agency team at the Novetel Peace hotel (our hotel for our visit in Beijing) for orientation that morning, then had a wonderful group lunch with the other families adopting and with some of the agency staff members. Then we were driven to the Beijing Child Welfare Institute. At 2:30, we completed, signed and fingerprinted documents. And at 3:00 they brought the children in to meet their forever parents. Russ and I saw Anna for the first time. It was surreal to see in person this precious child that we had studied in 3 photographs for more than 4 months.
