Forever Family Day


Today we returned to the Civil Affairs Office and Lila officially became part of our family. Tomorrow we travel to Wuxi - 3 hours by bus - to visit the Wuxi Social Welfare Institute, Lila's home for these past years. Friday we receive Lila's Chinese passport and Saturday we leave for Guangzhou for Lila's paperwork to be processed at the American consulate so that she can be sworn in next Wednesday. Each step along the way paperwork collected over the past year drips away from us and more paperwork is collected.

Our second Forever Family Day Breeda was here to experience and was our videographer while Steven and I red-thumbprinted whereever the official told us to.
