Grace is ours!! We picked her up at the Civil Affairs Office this morning at about 10 am. We signed a temporary custody paper for 24 hours. Tomorrow we go back to the Civil Affairs Office to start the permanent paperwork.
Grace is quite petite, much less chubby than she looked on the picture. She doesn't seem at all shy with strangers and came to us with no problems. She's amazingly happy. She smile alot, babbles, and even giggles at Grant. We layed her in the crib to take a nap this afternoon and she fell asleep all by herself! The only time she cried is when she was hungry. We are incredibly lucky!
