Monday Morning Paperwork

What an exciting morning! Our travel group met with Frederick and Lily (our local guide and China adoption coordinator) who took us step by step filling out the paperwork. I made Lance do all of the writing:) They probably couldn't read my writing:):)

We were all soo excited to get our paperwork to fill out. In it had a copy of the newspaper finding ad of her. This picture is probably the first day that the orphanage got her, which was the day she was born. Under the picture it says that she was found on the steps at the Civil Affairs office wrapped in a blanket with a bottle and some formula. Lily thinks that the mother maybe hoped that someone would find her and take care of her... Then mayhem broke loose when we found a very recent picture of her - all of the families were in tears:) I will post a picture of us holding the paperwork with the picture (either here or on flickr)

We are all soooo excited! We have just 3.5 hrs before we meet to go to the Civil Affairs office! We are trying to keep busy:) The boys walked back down to a HUGE bookstore which has tons of toys on the 6th floor. They bought an electric car that goes extremely FAST. The store has a permanent track there and they went there to race their car around... OH - they just walked in the door and had a great time. When we were there yesterday it was PACKED! Today they said that there was no one there b/c they are all in school:)

So at 1am there we should be getting Hayleigh!!! We hope to post as soon as we can:)
