Shanghai and our little Gus

Last day in Shanghai

This post is long overdue, and I know most of you have seen our updates on Facebook, but here's for you who have not.

Here he is:

August Jingfan Rowland

We are pretty much over the moon for him.

Ben and Maddie have been incredible this entire journey and they love their little brother so much.

I will post all the details of our journey soon, but for now we are just spending time bonding with Gus.  

He is sleeping well through the nights, so far.

He is very attached to his bottle, likes to sleep with his arms over his head, loves to be held (good arm workout), and is starting to smile and laugh a bit.

Today, we fly to Guangzhou to where the US consulate is and is where we do all his medical check, get his visa, and finish paperwork so he can enter the United States.

Our chinese adoption was official two days ago.  That was quite a process, but very special too.

Shanghai is an incredibly beautiful city.  We will post pics and video very soon.

We are all doing well and are so thankful we are on this journey, we cannot imagine our lives without this sweet boy.

Love to you all.
