Hi all,



I just wanted to share a proud moment in our lives.



We've just got back from China with our new "Commander". We completed the adoption of our new daughter, Rebecca Marion Na-Ci Watson, from the Fuzhou Orphanage in Jiangxi province in China on January 10. She's 19 months old and can speak a few words of Mandarin, which is a few more than we can... She copies everything we do, so she'll pick up English very quickly from now.



Things have been quite overwhelming for her; the flight from Beijing (where we had to go to complete the Canadian immigration requirements) to Vancouver was difficult, and last night at home was a total upheaval. Time change, totally different surroundings, new things like dogs and cats, and possibly the fact that she recognised that we are now in a house, as opposed to a hotel, probably signified to her that everything was final, all led to a really difficult time last night.



One thing that we found really amazing was that she had a Crucifix, a St. Christopher, and a Catholic prayer card in her pocket. There are not many Christian people in China, but those that are, attend Catholic churches, which are officially sanctioned by the state. We're Christians, so it was a real blessing to know that Rebecca's previous care-giver at the orphanage was Christian. A lot of prayer has gone up for our little daughter, and to us, this is God saying "See... I have kept my promise, your daughter is safe and has been loved and cared for by the best person I could find."



Rebecca is a beautiful child. Wherever we went people would comment on her beauty (and of course, to criticise us that we weren't dressing her warmly enough - despite the fact that she was sweating under layers of clothing). Her parents "left her to be found" on the steps of the Fuzhou No. 2 Hospital in Fuzhou, Jiangxi, the day after was born.



For those of you that have prayed for us on our adoption journey, thank you and keep praying, please!



Best regards and God bless,

Andrew
