In China
All Days  |  Previous Day  |  Next Day

Monday, December 28, 2009 MIA IS ALL OURS! Today has been a very busy day. Our day started out with a good breakfast then a trip to the Buddhist temple and the jade store. We learned a lot about the significance of Buddha and Jade to the Chinese people. After our sightseeing, we went to McDonalds. It tasted the same as at home except better because it was a taste from home. After McDonalds, we went for Mia's swearing-in ceremony at the U.S. Consulate. This is the ceremony where Mia becomes a U.S. Citizen. Our adoption is now final in both China and the U.S. We are just waiting for her visa, which we should receive on Wednesday. After the swearing-in ceremony, we went shopping to get dresses for the girl's red couch picture. We also bought a few souvenirs. We then went to Lucy's with the Huffmans and on a short walk on the Pearl River. Mia has had a good day. Since starting the prevacid and lactose free formula, I am happy to report there hasn't been any vomiting. She continues to bond with us more each day. We are so happy to have her! We are exhausted from a full day, but elated with the realization that we will be heading home soon with our new daughter. Guangzhou is a great city and we are enjoying our time here. Although, we are really starting to miss Westin.
