Guangzhou Monday July 6

The day finally arrived....we have Josie!  The process was very smooth and we are thrilled!  Josie is doing well, but she is very quiet as she appears very overwhelmed with the changes.  The next few days will be spent one on one with her mainly in the hotel room just getting acquainted and running around to various government appointments to round out the formalities.  Attached are some pictures from our first meeting.  Look forward to sharing more pictures of our new beautiful girl in the coming days.

When we got Avery we were on Shamian Island. Go shopping over there and its just a relaxed place to walk around too. So many babies that Josie may enjoy seeing all the babies! Can't wait to see her really open up, but looks great so far!!!! GinaDx

Congrats LaMotta family! An already beautiful family just got that much more beautiful. And Josie, you are one lucky girl because you are always going to be surrounded by love!!! One question, is it too soon to dress her in Gator outfits?
Love you guys,

I'm overjoyed for you both. I don't think anyone can imagine how you are feeling. Josie is a lucky little girl to have you both as parents. I love you and miss you all. Enjoy China, but hurry home.
