Growing Snowflowers

and then there were four

It's been a whirlwind...we arrived in Nanchang, had our CCAI meeting and 15 minutes to get prepared before it was time to meet Paisley! We arrived downstairs five minutes before we were supposed to meet and guess who we saw in the hallway!! Paisley was with the Orphanage Director waiting for her new family to arrive! We were ushered in the meeting room and 10 seconds later we became a family of FOUR! It all happened so suddenly we barely had time to get any photos! Piper was so excited to meet Paisley, Paisley...um not so much excited to meet us! We also found out at the CCAI pre-gotcha meeting that Paisley had been in foster care within the SWI since December, I wish we'd known earlier, but this is a good thing, it means she had plenty of attention and love from her foster Mother. It has been a crazy two days, last night we were able to get a small smile and some babbling from our sweet-pea, no small feat I assure you, we have had a lot of tears, a lot of grief...but we hope, as the next few days pass, we will see our little bud start to bloom.
