WE WENT TO THE CIVIL AFFAIRS OFFICE ON DEC. 11TH 2006 WHERE OUR DAUGHTER WAS HANDED TO US! THIS WAS COMPLETE HAPPINESS! SHE IS JUST AS BEAUTIFUL IN PERSON AS SHE WAS IN THE PICTURES. SHE IS TINY, VERY SMALL HANDS AND FEET, REAL DAINTY. WE HAD TO DO SOME PAPERWORK AND THEN WE TOOK HER BACK TO OUR HOTEL AND DID ALOT OF BONDING TIME. WE PLAYED IN THE FLOOR WITH HER FOR HOURS. SHE LOVES THE TELEVISION ALREADY. THEY GOT TO WATCH TV FOR 2 HOURS EACH DAY WHEN SHE WAS IN THE ORPHANAGE.
SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE DOUG WHEN SHE WATCHES IT TOO, SHE IS FOCUSED ON THAT TV AND NOTHING ELSE MATTERS. ONE OF THE GUIDES HERE SAID ZOEY LOOKED ALOT LIKE DOUG. WE ALSO WERE TOLD THAT ZOEY LIKES HER MILK SWEET AND LIKES SWEETS IN GENERAL, "JUST LIKE HER MOM" :) AFTER WE TALKED TO TWO OF THE OTHER FAMILIES ABOUT THEIR FIRST NIGHT TOGETHER WITH THEIR NEW DAUGHTERS, WE FOUND OUT THAT ZOEY WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT. WE ARE TRULY "DOUBLE" BLESSED. THE POWER OF PRAYER, WE HAD BEEN PRAYING FOR A SMOOTH TRANSISTION FOR ZOEY AND SO FAR SO GOOD. WE WERE ABLE TO GET PICTURES FROM YESTERDAY AND I WILL GET THEM POSTED. THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR PRAYERS, THEY HAVE BEEN HEARD.
