6 months ago today, May 8, Mae HuaiXiang was handed to me in a crowded, hot room at the Civil Affairs Office in Changsha, Hunan Province. It was horribly hot, in the 90's, and unbearably humid. As the other babies were handed to their parents, Ayi SuSu videotaped away while I got more and more teary. When it was my turn, sure enough, I got the screamer. She was so different, so much bigger and had so much hair...I couldn't believe how much she had changed since the update picture. And while the next few days would be stressful, there was no question in my mind...here was my daughter-at last! Here she was.
