Susanna has been her for a little under six hours- we have a great videa and many, mnayoics, this is just a quick tease!All went really, really well! Her nannies all cried when they needed to leave her- and they were the only nannies who did. The clearly loved her very, very much! She is definitely terribly sad and scared, and every now and then realizes something is terribly different and starts to cry very sadly and silently- and then she screams! But she quickly calms down. She is also eating up a storm, enjoying being read to, watching Chinese cartoons, and hugging her stuffed caterpillar- which came with her.
I will send more pics and the video within 24 hours.
Lots of love from Laurie and Susie

SUSIE!!!!! As you can imagine, I'm especially thrilled by the name you've chosen! I hope she has as wonderful a life as my own Susie and that you have as much joy from her as I do from mine - and all my other children, too, of course. She's very, very beautiful and the expression on your face, in both pix, is very beautiful and YES very maternal and loving, too. I can't wait to see you both! What an extraordinary day!
Laurie and Susie!! So happy to see another Gao Girl coming home!
Happy Gotcha Day!!

Laurie,
Everyday your blog gets more exciting. I couldn't wait to log in today--Susie is adorable!! I love that you are both wearing lucky red...for you are both lucky to have found each other.
Susie,
A big welcome. You have a wonderful and smart mommy. You are coming to live in a big and exciting city. Already so many people can't wait to give you a hug, read you a book, and circle you and your Mom in a big, warm hug. I am already thinking of what books will be fun to share with you.
Nan--Thanks for all the great pictures. It really helps us feel connected.
