It has been crazy busy. We got our Angelina on May 8th at 10:30a.m. We drove from Dolton Hotel to the Hunan Civial Service building. Before leaving the hotel we took pictures of all the mommies then of all the daddies. Christopher is not a daddy but he wanted to be in the picture with the dad. We were all so nervous but very excited. The receiving of the baby process was very overwhelming. The process moves really fast. We all started to cry before we even got the babies. For the most part most of the babies were great. When our name was called our Angelina took one look at daddy and gave him a big smile. It was the greatest moment. She smiled and came right into my arms. WOW, what a feeling! Scary but oh sooooo sweet!!!!!!
After we got the babies we returned to the hotel to have lunch and to bond with our babies. Angelina was happy and smiling all the back to the hotel and even after we got back she was still smiling and laughing. She was really adjusted to us well. Sleeping through the night was a bit of an issue. Angelina kept getting up about every 2 hours. She seemed to be looking around for something familiar. Needless to say we're a little sleep deprived. Thanks to all our friends and family who wished this on us!!!!!!!
Today we went to the Civil Service building again to get a passport and to notarize the paperwork for the final adoption. They also took Angelina's footprint and our thumb prints. After that we came back to the hotel and had lunch - all the meals have been unbelieveable, lots of food, mostly good, some I've never heard of and too scary to mention - then I went to have a foot massage, it only cost 6 dollars for one hour. It felt sooooo goooood!
Tomorrow we will be going to Wal-mart to get baby supplies and sight seeing. Did I mention that Angelina really does look like an angel. Everyone is saying she has such an angel face. She has a very sweet personality so far and she loves her big brother, her mommy and daddy. She woke up this morning and gave daddy a BIG smile. We are all in love.
The pictures are in sequence from when we left the hotel to get Angelina. Love to all back home. Miss you all.
