Today we were up and out early to go back to the Civil Affairs office to complete the official adoption procedures. It began with a family photo and then two interviews. There were many families there along with our group completing the process. As of 11:00 Guangzhou tome Luolin became officially ours.
After our appointment, we went on a bit of a shopping spree at a very Walmart-like store. I have to say that WM is actually nicer ! We had to get the necessary things like diapers and such ... we headed back to the hotel for lunch and a nap (not so much) ... this afternoon we are going out for a walk, then meeting our group for a Cantonese dinner at one of the local restaurants.
Here are some pictures from today ...
Nice photos!
ReplyDeleteWhat a dear little one..looks like she fits right in with her brother and sister.......and Kurt, guess who was obsessed with wiping hands when a little one. Grandpa never forgot about that. Am up to deliver papers, and counting sleeps till I see you all. Love you. Love the pictures.....
ReplyDeleteKurt, I came across your exchange with Karen in Facebook and was a LITTLE surprised to see 'congrats on your new daughter' ???!!! I then followed your link to this blog site ... what a wonderful thing you're doing, what a beautiful little girl, and what a great family you have! Enjoy!
