Today we finalized the Chinese portion of the adoption and Kylee is officially ours! We now have to apply for a Chinese passport so she can travel to Guangzhou where we will finalize the US portion of the adoption and then head home February 11!
After what Edwin and me would say was one of the worst days of our life (except for Mia's first 24 hours after her adoption) we finally had a wonderful day with our new addition. After a good night's sleep and a bubble bath Kylee has finally decided we aren't so bad after all. We had a day of giggles, smiles and hugs!
Kylee has been a trooper and even tries her best to say words in English! She calls Mia, Edwin (Papa) and me (Mama) by name and has learned what most 4 year olds know - NO!
