Hello everyone,
We are doing ok here. Bella's first night was almost unbelievable. We put her to bed at 8:00 p.m. & she slept straight through until 9:00 a.m. She seems to be adjusting, but doesn't want us to put her down when she's awake. I believe that is normal behavior until she knows she can trust us. While she is napping & Marc is reading I am sorting through the pictures on the disk they gave us from the orphanage. I have attached a few of the pictures. Two of the pictures are of her with a doll that we sent her:) We received many wonderful keepsakes from the orphanage & gifts from her birthmother & grandmother.

I also wanted to let everyone know that we are going to be delayed a few days. As of right now, we are unable to get her visa issued from the AIT (American Institute in Taiwan). Apparently, our original paperwork for adoption was sent to Guangzhou, China in August 2007 by the US Center of Immigration Services in Chicago in error. The AIT cannot process her visa without it. As of right now, the US Consulate in China is express mailing our packet to the AIT & they expect to receive it on Monday the 4th. We are hoping to leave for home on either Monday night or Tuesday. We will keep you posted. Enjoy the pictures!
