Well we have her and we are all in love. When we got her it was initially very difficult. She is very, very shy and does not like strangers at all. Most families came and went while it took about an hour for her to even come close to any of us. Our guide, Elvin, and the orphanage director that brought her were so great and caring during the whole thing....Now things are great. Once we got to the hotel she was perfectly fine with me (Dona) and then we went walking around the little town and within an hour she was in Jeff's arms also. Dylan is still haveing to work on her some. I know what you really want are pictures....

She is the most beautiful little girl ever. She is even more precious now. I told you that she would take to all just fine and that she would know that you all loved her. She is the luckiest little girl in the world. Mom is on her way out to look at the pictures.
Love to all of you,
Aunt Lacy
Hello Madi---this is your Gps. I knew you were our little China doll and you are--and with more hair.
Jeff, dona, dylan--so grateful the hardest part of the journey is complete, nothing but love and good times ahead now. What an awesome God we have!!!
Dylan, maybe you should not be so normal, hu? Cute girls--you probably didn't notice?????
We love you, Gps
What a beautiful little girl!
I am glad you guys made it safely to China. Enjoy your stay, have lots of fun, and take many pictures. We can't wait to meet the precious one in person.
Have a safe journey home. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Andrea (and those other people from Jeff's work)
Congratulations! She is very pretty and lucky to have God give her parents like you! Each of you are in our prayers. Dylan try not to pick up too many girls!

Dona, Jeff, Dylan, & Madi, We are so emotional right now, as we look at this beautiful little girl! Yes, God is awesome!! She is perfect and we can't wait to meet her! I am so excited that I get to buy her a little girl outfit!! Bryce really misses his pal Dylan, but is soo excited that Dylan finally got to meet his little sister! Have a safe journey back home.

NOW once again ..third time we have tried this!!
What a beautiful smile.. smiles.. from all of you!!
Miss Madi, gps said you were going to fit in with your new family just fine.. I believe you are already proving that. We are going to have such fun, just like we do with your big brother.
I am curious about the beds and how they fit Jeff?? I can relate to the grill cheese..they were best in Ind. when I spent 2 weeks. I'm sure they are REALLY good for you all.
Dylan, have you taken the eyes of any more young girls???? Was and I are hoping(not right away..but in a while) you will spend the night with us and tell us ALL about what you did and saw in China like you did about New York. OK???
Take care and remember always how much we love you....4!!
Gps and Was
