Official Chinese Adoption Today!

We're all getting ready to go back to the government building to finalize the adoption as far as the Chinese government part is concerned. This is an exciting time, this makes it official!!!

This is one of Lily's Ayi's who cared for her in the orphanage. We thanked her for caring so much for our little flower. She seemed to love Lily very much.

When we got to the government building we first sat at one desk and completed the Adoption Registration, then we went to the next desk and completed the notary, then finally we paid the orphanage fee. We had to carry a stack of money that was literally about 4 inches thick. 

After the official work was over we all got to go to the supermarket where we could get things we needed for the babies. Just going to the store is quite an adventure. People stop and talk to you, look at the babies, pick them up and make very nice comments. The Chinese people love babies and have been very friendly to us. They appreciate the fact that we love Chinese babies too.
