Magic Blocks and We're All Legal

Thank you to all who prayed for Kate during this rough transition.  After a very long nap yesterday, she was already starting to interact with us.  We brought out the stacking cups and they worked like a charm.  They are by far the most valuable toy we packed.  She even offered us some giggles while stacking the cups like blocks then knocking them over.  They were a even a hit at bathtime.













































This morning we went back to the Civil Affairs Office to finalize the adoption.  Kate was very subdued for much of the time and it was pretty obvious that she was concerned about what awful thing would be next. This building didn't hold any good memories for her.  But we are now offically Kathryn Yuyan Halford's family!

Congratulations! Welcome to the family, Kathryn Yuyan Halford! You are a special gift from God. I am so glad that things went smoother today. The power of prayer. Kate looks like she is having a great time with the boys. I bet they are pretty proud of their new sister. Continued prayers as you move on in the process.

That is so great!! I knew the next update would be a good one! She will continue to feel better about all this once she realizes you guys aren't going anywhere. : ) Thank you God!

Glad Day 2 helped her blossom a little more. I suspect you'll be getting her full blown smile in a couple more days. She is just beautiful, especially with a family surrounding her.

Congratulations on becoming a family! (And those stacking cups are truly a life-saver, aren't they?)
