SHE'S OURS!!!!!!!!
We officially became Claire's parents this morning after we completed all the paperwork w/the notary, etc and paid the $$.
We received Claire yesterday afternoon (Mon 10/15). She cried and cried and cried! Poor thing. We felt horrible! She had a touch of a cold and cough but seems to be ok! She was clean and had her hair done all pretty w/barrettes! She eventually fell asleep on the bus back to the hotel after crying. Once she woke up here she was happy as could be! Playing, laughing, eating, everything! Jeff left for a while to go get formula, etc and after that she would not have anything to do w/him. She is a momma's girl for now. She cries the moment he gets near her unless he bribes her with food!
She slept all night long, falling asleep around 7pm and waking up around 6:30am. She is a really good eater!
She is very tiny! She is wearing the 9 month size clothing we brought for her and its a little long! She is crawling and pulling up to things. I don't feel like she is behind at all developmentally. She is doing wonderful grasping toys and picking up food.

Jeff and Mindy,
I am so excited for you. Jeff, don't feel bad, girls tend to go with mom for a couple years until they are old enough to wrap daddy around her little fingers.
I hope the first Sunday you are back, you bring Claire to SUnday School. I used to work with newborns-12 months in the daycare before my back injury and I MISS the babies.
Can't wait to hear more about your adventures in China. Amanda and I have you in our prayers every day..and of course the boys.
God Bless and be safe.....
Deb Rush and Amanda
Jeff and Mindy, I am in tears and so happy for you! What a sweet precious girl! Jeff, you keep feeding her. She will really love you once she sees all that food. It doesn't take long! Squeeze her for us. We can't wait to get her home and get her picture with the other two. Little China dolls! Enjoy every minute and so sorry about the squatties. I waited in line a long time and never went in one of those. I was afraid I would fall in or Jeff would have to come and get me out. Lots of love from home! Kathy Sanderson
Praise the Lord on your good news of having Claire. Jeff, Mindy, Conner, Carter, Cameron and Claire Meislahn family are in our prayers. The Lord is awesome.
With the Lord's love and prayers.

She is absolutely beautiful!! CONGRATULATIONS! So happy to see she is finally in your arms. Sorry Jeff that she already has a favorite, but you know that will change once she figures out who the REAL softy is:) Enjoy your time getting to know each other.

How sweet!!! What a cutie. So glad to see Claire in your arms. Can't wait to get you all home and together with the boys. We will keep praying for a smooth week, and VERY smooth travel. Keep sending those pictures! Miss you and the boys seem to be doing well.
In our prayers,

How exciting! Claire is beautiful and she is so fortunate that God chose her to be with such a sweet Christian family. Have a safe trip home. Congratulations!!

Yeah! What a cutie. So glad Claire is finally with her family. Now we just need to get you all home and let her take on the boys. I know they are so anxious to have her (and of course you) home. We will keep praying for smooth sailing this week and a VERY easy travel day. Can't wait to love on her.
In our prayers,
Diane
Hope these are getting forwarded to your email. Can't wait to see another photo but know you are having such a special bonding time. The boys seem to be doing well. Christian said Connor has your picture with Claire up at school. Praying for your safety and easy return home.
In Christ,
Diane
