Chinese Paperwork - DONE

After today, Xiu Fu Yang is ours according to China. The rest of the time here is US paperwork, visa's and a few other things before we can leave the country with her.

We received another picture but couldn't keep it. However, it will be her passport photo so we will have this one copy. I tried my best to take a photo with my digital camera but the lighting was bad in that room and it didn't turn out that clear. Good news....she has hair now!!! It's short but so cute. And her ears do not stick out as much as they did in her referral pictures. It looks like her head has grown to catch up to her ears. Her facial expression was exactly the same.

Our guide gave us a copy of today's Chongqing newspaper to keep for history of what was going on the day Madelyn became our daughter. She also made a chop for us with her Chinese name on it. They gave us another copy of her finding ad. Of all in our travel group, our daughter was in a separate newspaper than the others so I don't have a picture of all the babies (at least not until a few hours from now).

Now we're ready to eat a bite, if we can keep it down and not get sick. I'm getting nervous now. Gotta finish packing a diaper bag, get all cameras ready with film and batteries fully charged, and maybe take a chill pill before getting on another bus (these roads are crazy with all the traffic.)

Speaking of traffic, everyone honks a horn here. Yesterday we saw a sign with what looked like a trumpet in a circle with a line through it. Sleep deprived me had to question what that was for....duh, no honking silly. I'll try to get a picture of it later.
