Gotcha Day Morning! July 16, 2012! Zhengzhou, China--Henan Province! Zachary & Tian Here We Come!

I love this video! Taken just hours before meeting the boys!

Breakfast that morning was going to be the most calm breakfast we would have in a long time! The next morning we would be having breakfast with 4 kids instead of just 2! And we'd now be back to parenting toddlers again!



Waiting in the lobby for the bus to arrive to take us to the Civil Affairs Office!



 We're on our way! Yisha is giving us instructions.

Yisha told us that once we arrived at the Civil Affairs Office, that we may have to wait until our child/children arrived. Some would be traveling further than others and some of us may have to wait for a long time for our child to arrive. All of the children are in the Henan Province, but they were from different cities. They would be brought by car or van and arrive with at least one representative from the orphanage.  Zachary was from Xinxiang and Tian was from Luohe City. What we didn't expect was that as soon as we pulled into the parking lot, Yisha tells us "Xinxiang is here, Xinxiang is here! Get your cameras ready! Children are already here!" We didn't have time to prepare! We just hurriedly started rushing up the stairs. It definitely wasn't what I'd expected at all!


When we first got inside, I looked over into the play area and saw this little boy and wondered "Whose boy it that?". It didn't look like Zachary at all! Our pictures of him showed him with either his head shaved or with a hat on covering all of his hair. I didn't even recognize him!!! 


My next post will be to show our wonderful Gotcha pictures of Zachary!
