Noah Li Ming Bower

After checking in we had 10 minutes to turn around and get ourselves in order before we had to meet in the elevator lobby to go do the paperwork and meet our Noah in person! The whole group went together to the conference room and there were all the kids with their caretakers and other staff. It was a bit of chaos and crying while the paperwork began and the children meet new faces (who don't look at all like anyone they knew!) Noah had the shortest trip of the three babies being adopted. His orphanage is an hour and a half away. Noah's doctor, nurse, and caretakers came to meet us. They were very nice and provided us with food, diapers, new clothes, and gifts for the family. We were given an album with pictures of the orphange, staff, his bed, and friends. They also gave us earth from his orphange. Not sure what to do with the earth- afraid to bring it home. ( No need to get arrested on the way back to US.) Fortunately for us there were no tears and Noah came to Mama without any trouble. As long as the sweet potato puffs kept coming he was a happy boy. Noah seems to really like being held by his new MaMa and even managed a few smiles. He has the sweetest smile!!!!! The only tears were when BaBa held him! We did the paperwork and Noah signed too. We went back to our room and tried to have milk and some other things to eat but our little man was beat. Tomorrow some more official details are to be taken care of - after breakfast of course.
