It’s official!
Today we completed the paperwork for China, and Lina is now officially a member of our family. On Friday, we can pick up her Chinese passport and then we go to Guangzhou to complete the paperwork at the US Consolate so we can bring her home.
Lina wouldn’t take a bottle yesterday, but first thing this morning she chowed.
Then it was time for a little nap before our big appointments.
At the notary office
Waiting again, but happily because we have our babies
Kathleen & Kara
Stephanie & Lina met Sha & Anice while we were waiting. Sha is from Singapore but lives in Shanghai (and now Anice does, too).
Sutton & Seely were made for each other
The “red book” makes our adoption official in China!
