At long last, we have Zachary.
I am having trouble getting photos to attach to my email (which is how I'm posting), so I put a link to photos below.
We'll give more details later, but the short version is that he was pretty scared and would not make any eye contact, didn't move, didn't make a sound. After we got back to the hotel, we have him a few toys and got him giggling a little bit playing ball. Sometimes we couldn't tell if he was laughing or crying. I think it was both. I don't think he wanted to let his guard down.
For photos, click on this link.
We'll write more later. Have a meeting in the morning (Tues) to get his passport in the works.

Hello You Three!
I got online and found out that Beijing is 13 hours ahead, so last night when I was up at 1:30 pumping, I was wondering if you'd been official parents for a half hour...I almost came downstairs and booted the computer to send you something, but decided it would be wise to go back to bed. IT was so exciting being up last night knowing and thinking about the special moments that were happening in your lives. My oh my...he is absolutely gorgeous...the pictures are incredible!!!!!!!!!! What a mighty God we have!!! Have patience and tenderness and know taht God has this ALL in His grips. He building the bridge and making all the connections. Take care of all of you as you ALL are going through much these days! We're thinking of you and loving you and are with you at heart and in prayer always! Amy
