More details

My sister said she wanted more details about adopting the boy. Here you go! But, if you want another first hand account, I highly recommend the parent's blog- http://wewilllovetheleastofthese.blogspot.com/

We arrived at the place around 2:30, that's when we were supposed to pick up Josiah. Well, apparently he was going to be late, he was stuck in traffic. Not surprised. :) We waited in this huge room, there were about 8 other families who were getting their children. I saw about 4 brought out as I was there, and others were playing with them which tells me they just recently got their children. Basically, they hide out in this one room, then at a random decided time they bring the child out and hand him/her over to the mother. And then the mom gets her first experience with holding her new child. After a few minutes, the caretaker comes over talks about the child, however, we kinda assume they say the same thing about each child, since they give very standard answers and what they say doesn't always happen once they bring the child home.

Then, they take a picture with the family and caregiver, and it's done. However, I didn't mention that at random times there are tears from all parties involved. :) Even those, like me, that are not involved.

I loved being there with the family, it was so great to see!
