We have her!!! Welcome Jordan Petrie...

Gotcha Jordan Jennifer Mian Petrie! Age 25 months


The moment we have waited for .. she's healthy and beautiful. We met Anli in the lobby of our hotel at 2:30 and took a bus about 15 minutes away to the Guangdong Adoption Affairs office. We went up to the 5th floor of a business-type building and into a "reception" room with a few couches and coffee tables. Anli took our passports and went to check that she was there. She came back a few minutes later and said, "get ready" (meaning cameras etc.), and "they will bring her in here in a minute". So Jeff readied the video camera and Anli took the digital camera in hand.

A man brought Jordan Mian into the room.. and there she was. He handed her to me first. She snuggled a little, and she smiled a little. (she's tired) We tried putting her down next to Sydney and Jay on the couch.. .and she started to cry a little... wanted to be held. Other than that, she has snuggled and smiled. She has not made any attempt to talk. She is soo, soooo sweet.
