Gotcha!!!

After a bit of a troublesome start, Colleen received Josie at about 10:30 a.m. Kunming time, 9:30 p.m. Central.

Friday, we got some scary news. Colleen and Ailleen left Madison for Chicago and proceeded to board their flight to China. They then got word, however, that their scheduled pilot had a family emergency and there was no one else qualified to make that flight. Can't say we appreciate United airlines much, anymore. The airline said there was nothing they could do for us except put the girls up in a hotel in Chicago until they could fly out the following morning. So we had a bit of a crisis but everyone managed it with grace and faith. Turns out that Echo (the adoption agent in China - she's great!) stayed behind in Hong Kong until the girls arrived a day late and then got them to Kunming - no thanks to United.

So after a few hours of rest in Kunming, Josie was handed over to Colleen and she appears to be happy, healthy, and beautiful!

More details and pictures will follow soon!
