Gotcha Day

More pictures to send later.

 

Boy was it an eventful day.

 

It was raining when we went to the adoption registration office.  Our group was a bit late and most of the kids (including Jacob) were already there.  There wasn’t a lot of ceremony, and the nannys started handing kids over right away.  Jen sat down with Jacob and started hitting it off.  Things went pretty well until the nanny left.  Jacob was very upset then, but recovered on the bus to the passport photo office.  He had another meltdown in the passport photo office, but after that seemed to accept us a bit.  (It helped that we got a popsicle on the walk back).

 

It was steaming hot by the time we walked home.   We got back…and after about an hour or so in the room playing with bubbles, trains and everything else we headed down to lunch.  This boy can eat.  He put down a ton of cheerios, garlic bread, pizza and dumplings.  No problems with appetite.  His paper work confirmed this, it said  (after it was translated) “He enjoys his food always”…No kidding, huh.

 

The only downside to the food is that he is also having a bit of diarrhea .  We have gone through a few changes of clothes and I don’t think the housecleaning folks are going to enjoy the sheets we set out.  Oh well… comes with the territory.

 

Don’t know how these photos will post as we are unable to see the blog.
