A comedy of errors-I think!

Today was a very interesting and anxiety producing day. Things are done in such a different way here it is absolutely amazing. Last evening our guide, Aina, had the men over to fill out paperwork. There was a discussion on what type of pen to use and last night I was the hero, I was using the right type of pen to fill out the paperwork. Today was a different story. At 9am we proceeded back to the Hunan Adoption Administration building to finalize our adoption here in China. They make you take a picture with the two parents and the baby. They want it to look good and poor Natalie is running a 101 temp and she just won't keep her head up. The lady that is taking the picture of the three of us is doing every thing she can to make Natalie perk up. Nothing really worked but we finally passed and we were now on to the signing stage. We sat down in front of a Judge/ Official and she quickly discovered that I used the wrong pen (in her opinion) and she sternly sent me away to copy over it with the right kind of pen. I felt like I had a limited time to correct it or else. We were finally called again, I got so flustered I knocked over a plant on the table I was using and then picked up my case that holds all of our papers. I had not re-zipped it and thus all our documents spilled on the floors. My heart was in my throat. I took a deep breath, apologized for all of my inadequecies (which were numerous today of all days) and we made it official. Natalie officially is reconized as our daughter here in China. I only wish we had captured this event on video, not only for the true sentimental value of it, but I know Kelsey and Amanda would have laughed forever if they were to see this unfold. Oh well, Natalie is doing better it seems. Still running a temp and a bit fussy. She is starting to eat and hopefully we will see a happier and healthier baby in the morning. We are very blessed and God continues to watch out for us. Thank you all for your prayers. See you all soon. Andy
