Hello all. It has been quite a day!!! It is 11:15PM and Abbie is wide
awake, even though her report stated her bedtime is 9:00.
The gotcha moment was completely insane. She was standing there as soon
as we got off the elevator. She was obviously loved and loved her
foster family. She is having some difficulty transitioning to us. She
has been crying out for her foster grandmother today. She speaks a
dialect from Changsha rather than Mandaren but luckily one of our Holt
escorts speaks that specific language and has been grately helpful.
We have a short video of Gotcha Day that should post here , but if not
just go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSWhecE9Im8
Please continue to keep us in your prayers! We feel enourmously blessed!

Words can't express how happy we are you y'all. We know you are having the time of your life. We can't wait to meet Abbie when we visit Atlanta for a Woodward wedding in May. I love her name. My sister's name is Abbie and spelled the same way:)
OMG...Katie she is adorable! I was very teary eyed from watching the video. I am so happy for your family. Tell Abbie Lin we should go shopping sometimes! Be blessed and safe and we will see you when you get back to Woodland!
Thank you God!!!
Thank you Katie & Drew!!!

She is perfect. I am so thrilled. We have another beautiful (& and I mean beautiful) grandchild.
Love you more than words can express,
Gramma & Grandpa
Oh, guys! WOW! For once I am speechless! I cried like a baby through the whole thing!
If you will allow me the privilege to say so, this is my proudest moment of my lifetime,
next to the birth of my own three children. You know I have supported you throughout
this journey, but I had no idea it would be so emotional for me to watch you experience
this joy! Thank you for sharing it with me and thank you for allowing me and the kids to
be part of Abbie's life. This journey has only just begun.
With love to you all,
Susan
Wow - Katie and Drew, I am so happy for you. Seeing you meet Abbie brought tears to my eyes. I am so happy that you finally can hold your daughter.
Erica
