These are some of the wonderful families we met in China with their beautiful daughters:(These pictures are out of order. These are the ones from the final day in Guangzhou right before we are preparing to return home. So, the girls had been with us for nine days.)

John, Jonda, and Sarah
Amber and her parents
Jen, Danny, and Lilli

These are the Gotcha moments on March 17th, 2008! The moment when we finally met our daughters for the first time... and held our babies for the first time!
Jen and Danny with Lilli (above). Their blog is the Princess Diary. Lilli was our Lily's first hug on the last day in China!

Jocelyn, above, was from the same orphanage as Lily. Her blog is to the right- Love of my Life.
These are our wonderful friends that took care of us while we were in China. Beth, David, Liana, and Marah. We went to spend time with them last summer. Marah was also from Lily's orphanage.

Great post!! Boy, do these pictures bring back memories! It still seems like yesterday!
What wonderful memories these pictures bring back. I can't believe that it has almost been a year since these pictures were taken. I was glad to see a picture of Jocelyn and I on Gotcha day as I only have video on my camera of Gotcha day. I am amazed at how much our daughters have grown since those pictures were taken. I am also amazed at how much I have grown since those pictures were taken.
