Well the moment finally came for Gotcha Day. We took a two hour drive from Chongqing to Fuling and arrived at the Fuling Social Welfare Institute with the staff awaiting our arrival.
Within 5 minutes of our arrival they started to bring the babies in to present to us. We were thrilled to finally meet our little daughter Mercy. As you can see she was studying us to see who we were. She was a very contented little girl and we were thrilled to see her play with the little rattle we gave her. Mercy seemed to be fine with both of us and did not cry at all. She even gave us a few smiles. 
We had a great tour of the orphanage and were able to visit where the children play and sleep. 
The staff at Fuling SWI were very caring and loving people as we could sense. 
We had a good first night and Mercy pretty well slept through the night. What a blessings. We are off to the Civic Affairs office today to finalize paperwork and then off to shop at Walmart. Mercy was a little bigger than we thought.I will be posting some more pics real soon. Thanks to our friends Gord and Shannon who let us use their computer. Enjoy the photos!!
