end of day update
We're all pretty tired today. Jen started the day with a sore throat and I feel one coming on. The snot-monster is bringing chaos to our immune system. I'm hoping a good nights sleep will help. Jen is trying to get Kate to fall asleep now so I'm typing this in the dark.
The ink is dried and Kate is now ours. We travelled to the Civil Affairs office and signed a couple more forms, stamped our fingerprints across the signatures, had a police officer verify that we were all who we said we were, got our first family photo done and it was done. We have the paperwork to prove it now.
The orphanage director and one of the nannies were there and took Kate from us for a few minutes. You could see the confusion in Kate's eyes as to who she should be with. Quite heart wrenching for most of the families. She was enjoying her old friends but you could also see her looking to us, wondering what was going on. She reached for Jen at one point and Ma was there to scoop her up. We know it's part of the process, but we don't understand why they do it. Kate isnt settling as easily as she did the last 2 nights so I wonder if this had to do with it.
anyways, it's done. We are a family! See for yourself!
