If you don’t know, my wife and I have discussed and planned adoption since 2003, before we were even engaged. Well, we did it and picked up our daughter from Korea on Thursday(Wednesday in the States). We then traveled back around the Earth and have returned to Michigan, our home state.
Check her out! These are early pictures, so while cute, they do not fully capture the cuteness that is Mahalothette. Introducing Mahalothette!
She is absolutely charming. Actually, I really do sense some kind of intangible resemblance between your daughter and yourself. Same sense of humor, maybe?
Since I tend to wax poetic on the topic of parenthood at the drop of a hat, I’ll just say that there is much wonderfulness ahead!
We thought about it, but weren’t sure if we’d be back by today. My Mom got her a little ghost doll thingy, which I’m sure we’ll take pictures of her holding.
Adorable and congrats. Enjoy the jetlag (our son was delivered so our days and nights were not screwed up - but his were).
My Unsolicited Parenting Advice…if there is something you want her to do or not do later, don’t let her do it now. I wish I’d just not brought white bread into the house for instance…now the kids won’t eat wheat bread. Its easier to just start out with “we don’t do that in our house” than it is to take it away. And what you think is harmless when they are little turns quickly into a toddler demanding it all the time.
Congratulations on your future Doper!
