June 16 Adoption day day 9

Today was paperwar day! Today was the day that Alice became our daughter and that we promised the Chinese Government that we would never abandon or abuse her! We also were privileged enough to watch around 15 families receive their new family members! It was truly amazing! I also caught up with 4 woman who I have emailed on and off now for almost 3 years! It was truly amazing one of them received twins! It sis great watching all these families walking around in a daze!
Alice was a trouper and we finally got back around 12 after visiting the notary public and police station for passport! So we are set for the waiting game! Tuesday was meant to be for paperwork but end up being free so we asked to go and visit the park we will see what happens. Alice slept through the night and has been an angel has a huge amount of fog there we also asked our guide to organize dresses and that was sorted out late Monday pm! we ordered two sets of clothes a size 2 and 7 for now and 4 and 9 for later Keith got a tie and Aiden designed himself a vest! $1390 yuan later! They will arrive on Thursday in the afternoon!
Dinner again at the restaurant! It was a buzz with babies which is quite a different feel!
We meet a couple here adopting a special needs boy but there really isn’t any major need obvious and you feel like you can only ask so many questions they are opposite the hall from us so you never know!
Amazing also to observe the different family style to forming attachment and some families just don’t get it!
Hopefully in time they will!
