Introducing Jaidyn Oanh Bolton

Hey everyone, the internet has been down the past day or so here so I haven't been able to post the most important post of them all. Wednesday morning we loaded up in van for the province of Phu Tho. We went to a government building that was basically like a ghost town, went to a room where they had a large sign and the babies waiting for us. We then signed a few papers and somewhere in there the official declared the babies ours. A couple of us gave a short speech and then the official decided we had run out of time and congratulated us. So Jaidyn is now officially ours! She's adjusting really well to us. She's generally really happy, is a SOUND sleeper, and hasn't seemed to have any problem taking to Heather and I at all. We're doing all the fun new parent things of trying to figure out how much formula to give her, figuring out the tricks to make her drink enough, and lots more. Heather has lots of experience with babies and kids anyway so it hasn't been too bad. We think Jaidyn's going to be a daddy's girl though. She likes hanging out with me. I don't think she's seen and played with many men, so maybe I'm just an entertaining side show. Regardless it's fun anyway. :)

Anyways, next step is to start getting her a US Passport and Visa to enter the United States. Thank you all so much for all your prayers and support. Your prayers have been heard, even if it didn't come as soon as we'd hoped, we're thankful to God and trust his timing was and is still good.

Here's some pictures from a fun first day. Woo hoo!
