Mia = "Mine".

It really happened. There is no way we can sort through all the photos and emotions yet, but we want to announce the adoption of the most adorable girl in China. The girl is beautiful.

We took a bus to the Civil Affairs office with the other families, and waited in a very hot, smoky, nerve-filled room until 9:10am, and then suddenly 3 beautiful little girls entered in their nannies' arms. As you will see, Pinyi cried hard when they handed her over, but she stopped within 5 minutes and hasn't cried again (yet!). We set her down once to see her cute walk, but her lip quivered, so we swooped her up again. Plenty of time, later, for her to show us her moves. We've even had a few smiles already, a word when pointing at an airplane, and good eating and drinking. Other than that, just a lot of serious adorableness.

We got a chance to talk to the nanny, and she told us her schedule, foods, etc. She also said when we visit the orphanage later this week, they will show us the burn on her leg and how to care for it. That was a relief.

More later--and many more pictures to come. For now, enjoy two videos

First, THE moment.



Second, an hour later. I think she likes us :)
