OFFICIAL ADOPTION DAY!
Kaden went down easily last night and slept relatively well
through the night with only occasional coughing. This morning we
went back to the civil affairs office for the official adoption
process. We had to answer some questions about why we wanted to
adopt from China and we had to promise that we would never
abandon or abuse our son. We signed more paperwork and did our
thumbprints...and then that was it. He was ours...an official
Alcala!
We ventured out and braved a mall to buy some shoes for Kaden
and some groceries. The hardest part is dodging the
traffic...motorized bikes EVERYWHERE! And in a city of more than
8 million, it's a bit like playing Frogger!
More fun playing back at the hotel and watching Kaden be a ham.
We are truly enjoying this bonding time and are so grateful that
the transition has been relatively easy for him. Yet another
answer to prayer. |
Signing adoption paperwork
It's official! |
