This afternoon all three families from our agency went back to the Civil Affairs office to have the adoptions registered. We met again with the director and one of the staff of Lillian's CWI and covered our signatures from yesterday with red-inked thumbprints. After that, we had a short interview with a member of the Civil Affairs staff, then filled out a form for a notary. About 10 minutes later, we had the final adoption certificate in hand.
We intended to take more photos, especially of Lillian "signing" with her red-inked thumbprint, but it happened very quickly.
We have been eating local food and Cheerios all the time so far, but tonight all the families are going with our agency guide to -- guess where? Pizza Hut. Apparently Pizza Hut, Papa John's, KFC, and McDonald's are big favorites of the young people in Nanjing, because they are everywhere. Pizza Huts here are considered very nice restaurants, and in fact appear to be more upscale than their US counterparts, and have a broader menu of American style food. We'll see tonight.

She's so adorable and she looks so happy! Hurry back! I'm not sure if we can wait a week to meet her!
We love the photos of Daddy Brent on the floor with his little bundle of joy. Brent predicted that there would be lots of floor time and it's coming true. What special days for you three! Love and God Bless, Mom and Dad
