We waited and waited and today we GOT MADISON....

We are ready!!!!!!




















To all our families and dear friends, we are proud to announce the birth our beautiful Madison Xiao Frost into our Forever Family... After long excrutiating hours at 3:00 pm Monday November 10th the nannies brought out our beautiful little pumpkin and placed her into our arms. Very stressfull and scary moments at first, our little girl comes out histerical from the long trip, from seeing so many new faces, this time mostly different from what she's been use to and to top it all!!! she has a huge bump on her forehead! after I composed myself, because my first reaction was, "oh my God she's disfigured our precious baby", I let Veronica explained to us that yesterday playing with the other kids she slipped and failed on her face... yikes, then felt even worse knowing what this girl must have gone through... of course Joey's 2nd reaction (we both shared the 1st one) was "what? shouldn't they bubble wrap our children before they come to us?" ha ha... well that definetely broke the tension, a lot!.... For now these are just a fesw pictures... we need to get ready for our 2nd visit to the CCAA when we say our "I do" "I do" we accept Bai Xiao Rong as our daughter.... love you all






Heidy, Joey and Madison Xiao forever and ever..

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so very happy that you have finally received your precious gift and are now a Family of 3. Poor Madison has a bump. I'm sure it's not the first and I can assure it that it won't be her last. Can't wait to meet you at the airport to welcome you home! Love, Candy

Heidy and Joey:

We are so thrilled for all three of you. Madison is just darling and it is awesome that she was this upset as now you know that she was bonded to someone before and now she will bond to you...it will just ake time and it will all be good. BTW, Katie Starr came to us with an awful bump on her noggin too. She was fine in no time. Like Candy said, get used to it Mama and Dada; there is alot more where that came from.

I am going to send you an update picture of Katie for Veronica to see on your e-mail. When things calm down please share it with her.

Love you guys!!

I'm so happy for all of you!!!!! Bubble wrap sounds like a great idea; you may be on to something. I'm really sorry Madison has a bump, but I'm sure it will heal quickly. Welcome to the world of parenting--bump, bruises, fits, hugs and smooches!

Love, Kristina (Mark & Olivia too)

Heidy & Joey,

Congratulations! Wow, you turn has come and I hope it is everything you dreamed it would be. Bet you never included a bump to the head, but hey as the others have said, welcome to the world of parenting. The world will be come a wonderful and dangerous place all at once.Now you will know how it feels to want to protect someone from the world, without question or concern for yourself. It is an awesome job and I know you guys are more than ready & able. Madison is such a cutie and I know she has found the best Mummy & Daddy a girl could wish for.
Savor every minute of these early day together.
We love you guys.

Oh Heidy!!! Joey!!!! MADISON!!!!!!!

My heart is so filled with joy and gladness for the three of you! Madison, you are beautiful! Bump, tears and all. Your mama and baba have waited so long for this moment and seeing you together is the sweetest, most precious sight to behold!

Over and over I am sending up prayers of thanksgiving because all of our prayers have been answered and she is in your arms!

Thank you for posting so much of your journey for all of us to see. How exciting the entire thing has been. (LOVE the landing video! So creative and I almost had to take a zanex!)I was truly beginning to miss China so much and now through your words and eyes I have revisited and felt all the love and beauty and gratitude for having my daughter all over again.

Mark and I are just overjoyed for you all right now. We're so sorry Madison bonked her bean! That would have scared me too! Good cover baba!! Love that bubblewrap idea! Maybe add foam peanuts for extra safety! Please give her kisses and hugs for us!

We just can not wait to see you on the 21st!!!!

Keeping the rest of your journey lifted in prayer for a smooth consulate, and Dr. appt. For easy travel and lots of warm, and precious bonding moments together!

We love you!!! All THREE of you!
