The Notary and finalizing of DocumentsThis morning we got up, ready to finalize adoption paperwork.
First things first, time for breakfast. We went down stairs intending to introduce Bj to "food"
He eats congee-very plain bland...not to appetizing. First we tried french toast, not interested.
Eggs, nope, watermelon n'yet.
I was a little surprized as I remember Jarren, the first to start eating and the last to finish, especially those first few days.
We tried pancakes and success! After the pancakes he was not interested in the congee at all.
Time to go to Civil affairs to finalized paperwork and interviews. At that time we get to promie never to abandon or abuse our baby and explain why we want to adopt Chinese child.
On the ride to the civil affairs office, I got the biggest kick out of watching John. He is the most cautious driver I have ever ridden with. In China there are no traffice laws, 2 lanes are really six, and pedestrians have zero fear of moving vehicles. We watched people just walk out in front of cars cross the street! We have seen u-turns take place directly in front of our moving van-now that was an eyebrow raiser. We even saw a bicycle with 4 PROPANE tanks on the back of the bike. The driver was just riding along, where ever he needed to go, again zero fear of being hit by a car:o)
Our adoption is finalized thank goodness, and gifts have given out-the first time(with Jarren's adoption) it was strongly recommended I bring Estee Lauder because that is what the nannies and director of the orphanage suggested. This time just like last time, every one got big Hershey bars. My good friend recommended it, reminding me that there were many more families just like me coming bearing gifts-so chocolate it is!
We are on our own for now, I am headed to the gym. I got to use the treadmill yesterday, that was interesting. I turned the machine on, and realized that the floor monitor was in there watching me. 45 minutes later 2 more people came in and just watched me for a minute or 2. We will see what happens today.
