This morning we went back to the adoption registration building. Now imagine that you are one of the kids. Yesterday was a hugely traumatic day, you were pulled away from your caregivers (Nannys) and given to these strange people. The next day these people that you have started to bond with take you back to the same building. How would you feel?
Well the kids did awesome. We spent a long time in the waiting room while the paperwork was finished. Our guide (Yisha) and her helper did all the work we just waited for a long time in the waiting room. The kids ran around and played. One of the families in the group has 3 boys and are adopting a sister. The boys are great at including the other kids and all are already doting on their sister. It is great to see.
In the end we got the paperwork and the adoption official made a little speech telling us that “Congratulations, you are now officially the parents” I’ll post the pictures of the paperwork…
We just had lunch and are trying to let Jacob settle down for a nap. OK…so this is the part where he isn’t laughing and having fun. Instead he is tossing around, tired, but doesn’t know what to do with himself. Everyone with a toddler has been there.
I am sure that Jen has more to add…
