It's Official!
Well, Tuesday came and went and we have good news.... Miah is officially ours now! We got Miah up in the morning... she had completely zonked out and we ended up having to wake her up at after 8am, since we had a meeting at the adoption centre at 9:30. Getting her up didnt go over particularly well, but she settled down quite soon.
Right now Miah is into a mode where she likes Dad the best... and only, really. She will come to him and allow him to pick her up, carry her around, play with her, etc. SHe also likes to be pushed in the stroller. Usually, Dad also has to be the one to push the stroller too, but sometimes others are permitted to push. As far as basic needs go, she will soften a little bit and allow Mom to feed her, change her, etc.
The adoption centre meeting went off without a hitch. We followed it up with a run to the bank, to address our "travellers cheques hitch" which went well too - they changed all except $400 of the travellers cheques and I think we are pretty much covered for fees now.
After the adoption centre, we had another appointment with the notary public. Short and sweet and seemed to all go well.
After the administrative stuff was over with quite quickly, so we followed that up with a run to a grocery store - picked up a decent supply of water and juice (that would last us more than a day or two), a suitcase to replace Dena's suitcase that broke on the way to China. Nice grocery store, but of course Angelina needed the washroom, which will end up being a "grandchildren story" in its unpleasantness.
Suppertime we decided to tour around and find a nice place to eat. Here they have some very busy intersections close to the hotel, so we use the subway to cross over the road. So, we went out in the sweltering heat, somehow got our wires crossed and ended up walking up and down a whole lot of steps in the heat, and came out right next to our hotel again! We started to admit defeat, but on the way back to the hotel, we saw the entrance to a restaurant right in our hotel. Food was good and reasonable, so what started out badly had a good ending. Hoping for the same story for MIah too!
