Tracy and I at the Jiangxi Province Center of Adoption Services.
We started out today back at the office where Madi was "born into our arms" (Thanks Krista) This is where we had to go through a very simple interview and also pay our fees, and give gifts to the orphange director and foster mother.
We also had the opportunity to hold Madi's birth note today although we were not allowed to keep it we did get some photos.
We do not ever get to meet Madi's foster mother but she must be quite a lady. The way that Madi is today can only mean one thing that Madi was treated with care and love. In our eyes she prepared Madi for us like no other could have. She sleeps very sound, very rarely fusses and eats, pees, and poops like a typical 10 month old. We are truly blessed to have such a healthy, happy little girl. We then were off to have documents notoraized where our adoption became official today here is a pic of us with that document.
So that makes us official!! Madi is ours, all documents have been signed and she is ours to keep forever.
For the rest of today we are just going to relax and kick back a little. All the stress and anxieties, worries etc are now behind us as Madi is ours. It is like this huge weight has been lifted off our shoulders and now all is good. The butterflies that we now feel are no longer the nervousness of this journey but are of becoming new parents. Wow it has finally happened and it's more than we could have ever dreamed of. We are so in love with this little girl that has been in our hearts for years and in our arms for only 2 days.
