Introducing Emily Grace Mei Venn

Gotcha Day
Monday, April 2nd was our "Gotcha Day" which is the day that we finally met our beautiful baby girl, Emily Grace! What an amazing and emotional experience! We found out that Emily was with her foster mother literally up until minutes before we got her. She has been grieving the loss of her foster mother heavily. She cries for her "Na Na" (grandmother in Chinese) over and over and it breaks out heart for her. We are so happy and can't believe that we are finally parents! Each hour is a little better than the last. The first couple of hours were extremely trying as she was inconsolible. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. We will include more posts and pictures in the coming days.

Big congrats, so cute and sweet!
Congratulations Mommy and Daddy! She's adorable! Enjoy your time in China!
Congratulations! She is just adorable. That mouth full of teeth is so cute. I have been following your group on your journey dreaming of the day when it's our turn. You have a beautiful family.

You're a family!
Congratulations, we are sooooo happy for you!
Andy just woke me up to tell me that you guys posted pictures of Emily. Wow, she's SO precious in your pictures! Also, I'm sure she misses her Na Na, but you can also look at it on the flip side: at least she wasn't stuck in an orphanage since she was with someone who cared about her. Before you guys know it, she'll start calling for her Ma Ma and Da Da rather than her Na Na.
MAZEL TOV (since this is coming from your Jewish friends)!!!
She's even cuter than the original pictures!!!! I can't wait to come home and play with you guys!

Amy and David, We just saw pictures of your beatiful little Emily. We are so happy for you and wish you all a wonderful and HAPPY life together. Sincerely, Judy and Marty (Betsy's parents)
I know you have to keep pinching yourself. I have tears in my eyes because I remember the feeling of finally seeing YOUR child. I can't wait to meet her. She is so adorable.
These pictures bring tears to my eyes and a lump to my throat every time I look at them! I'm trying to imagine how you must have felt the moments before you met Emily Grace and when you finally got to hold her... I can't! It had to be indescribable. She looks wonderful - can't wait to meet her. Looking forward to more updates and pictures.
