Meeting Maelyn!




The long wait is finally over. We now have held, kissed, and played with Maelyn and received the adoption certificate making her legally ours! She is the smallest baby in the group, eventhough she is not the youngest. She had been sick with a cold we were told. The right temple area of her head has been shaved due to having an IV. That information was scary and the fact that when we first held her, she wasn't very lively. But once we got her back to the hotel and took off the 4 layers of clothing, she moved around and was fine. She smiles and giggles all the time! She is eating well and seems to be adjusting to us. We are all tired and will write more later. Enjoy the pictures!

Congratulations....she is adorable! The happiness that is obvious on your faces is such a wonderful thing to see. Don't worry..... with a little nourishment she'll be a butterball in no time:) The little ones are amazingly strong in spirit.
Mason is going to lover her! She'll be playing peek a boo on the couch with him in no time.

Oh my gosh, Maelyn is too precious for words! You guys look like you've been together forever. I can't wait to see more pictures and to meet Maelyn in person!

Enjoy your new daughter (but keep her away from that toilet!)

Yea!! Congratulations. You have been patiently waiting for so long and as they say, "Good (great) things come to those who wait". Maelyn appears to just be a precious gem and we all cannot wait to meet the new addition to the Barber Family. Love to you all!

Maelyn is beautiful and what a precious smile! I'm so excited and proud of all of you. We are all blessed to have her in our lives and she's a very lucky little girl to have such wonderful parents.

I love you. Mom
