Introducing Brayden Tian Cai

Looks like we are back up after a week of no Internet. We received Brayden three days ago and he is doing great. Gotcha day was another story, we know he was with a foster family since he was 3 days old,and we knew they loved him and cared for him very much based on the updates we would receive. The morning we received Brayden he cried and screamed for two hours straight,thrashing and crying.It was heart breaking to watch our son grieve so strongly.When we got back to the hotel things started to calm down he seemed to be drawn to Amanda and she was very calming towards him,she was singing to him and it seemed to help. Then it was time for bed,again very very sad he yelled for his "MA" for an hour.it was just heart breaking to hear him.We held and cuddled him and soon he was off to sleep.the next morning things were much better he started to accept us and we saw a smile and giggle,wow that was nice to see.Ok three days later much MUCH better he calls us MaMa and BaBa (father in Chinese) and has been playing with Amanda and Seth. He tells us when he is hungry and is almost potty trained.He has been playing with the toys we brought and mimics Seth with the Kung Fu and Spiderman moves.Things are going much better.We went for a walk to a local park and this women spoke to him in Chinese and he turned his head looked at us and said Ma and BaBa and pointed to us,that was nice and made us feel better that he is feeling better.So here are some pics,I know everyone has been waiting patently for.

Brayden's Gotcha Day sounds very similar to Declan's. It's so sad to see them grieving so badly. I'm so glad to hear that he's starting to feel better about the whole thing!!! What an absolute adorable little boy!!! So happy for you and the whole family!
