I received an email from Emily and Jason this morning. Unfortunately, the Internet in Hohhot is not working very well -- we will all have to be patient and possibly wait until they return to Beijing for pictures. The most important part is that they are now a family of three!

Yesterday, at 2pm, Madisyn arrived at our hotel, much to our surprise. We didn't know this would be the case until we were on our way to the hotel. We had 1 hour to prepare. We quickly got everything done and went to our room. We freshened up and headed to the lobby. Madisyn was waiting there with her Nanny from the orphanage. It took three tries to pick her up. When I did, she totally lost it. My heart shattered.
We did the paperwork and headed to our room. We stayed there until dinner.We had dinner with the other family and Madisyn did wonderful. Then, we came back to the room and got MISS DIVA ready for bed. Today we finished all the paperwork with the higher officials. That was kind of nerve wracking.
We are now broke - but so much richer!!! Madisyn did wonderful until about 3:30 today. She had a meltdown and so did Momma. It sucks seeing your little one cry and in pain and there is nothing you can do but let her work it through it.
We can't wait to get to Beijing and be with the other families.

Hang in there Emily, things will work out! Sending all THREE of you our love!
thinking of you all as you get adjusted to being a family of 3! i'm sure that everything is so different for Madisyn, and i hope she settles in quickly. can't wait to see pictures of your little beauty!
It must be confusing for the little thing, but with the amount of love and care she'll get- she will fall in love with you two super fast! Hugs to the Schraud family!!!
Yay! So happy for you guys. The first few days with L, we did a lot of sitting quietly and letting her take the lead. That usually meant lying on the bed and scratching the sheet for entertainment, and she loved it when we did it with her. Enjoy these first few days!
xo from all of us
