It is official..she is our daughter




Well it is now official...James just called and sent me some pictures. This one was taken in the hotel lobby not too long ago. All the paperwork is under way, he has signed and we are now offically Presley's Mom and Dad.


James is tired from running around all day. Civil affairs, notary and then off to the police station for the passport. They waived the expediting fees for the passport and HE WILL be getting it on Friday..so they will be fine to head back to Beijing on Saturday as was originally planned.


James indicated many time during the day today she will hold her legs and cry with pain. Cripes I hate to hear that and can't wait for her to see Dr Hamdy at the Shriner's. Her appointment is April 2nd. James said it is painful to watch her walk. I so hope that with the miracles of surgery and the talent of the surgeons they can help Presley to walk without pain.


They had lunch with Pan(from the orphanage) and was able to give them our gifts for the foster family, Pan as well as the orphanage. The box of blankets was delivered sucessfully for the kids in Dalian. The 30 pairs of slipper/shoes as well. They were very happy. I had made a blanket for Presley's foster family as well, with the weather I hope they can use it. When I was making it it somehow make me feel connected to them.


James and Presley are heading to the local carrefour for drinks and snacks as Presley loves to eat. James indicated he will try and buy something there to eat in the room as they have hardly had any alone time at all since meeting. Tonight will be the first bath so we will see how that goes. Perhaps it could help her legs?


Here is her first night with Daddy. She looks so big in the pictures.

I love you both! Have a good sleep.

Hugs,

Karen
