Today, we are officially a family of three. We spent a couple hours at the civil affairs office. It is a weird experience of being in a building of crying babies, much humidity, and probably lots of germs (Lori of course noted this). BUT it is amazing to think that every one of those kids is going from a temporary foster home or an orphanage to a home where they are deeply loved. We had a couple interviews where we signed things and promised to love and care for McKaden and then she is officially part of our family. She was awesome all day; not a tear. She has also become a good eater. . . she loves pears and this rice stuff that is called Congi. Her diaper will attest to this fact!
Lori and I just want to thank so many of you for writing. It is truly awesome to know others deeply care about us and her. It is quite moving to get the e-mails. We are off to more meetings this afternoon (I think Mac gets her passport), so we really can't write everyone. The pictures are from today at the affairs office.

McKaden is more beautiful than her first picture. God is so good to bring Mac to you and you to her as her parents. Enjoy every minute. Our prayers are with you three. Congratulations
Hey Mr. Hein, I just wanted to say congratulations! That's awesome that you and your wife would adopt a child and take her from the harsh society that is China, and bring her into a loving family. Good luck with the rest of the trip, and have a safe return! See ya when you get back.
