Sorry for the delay in posting. We've been so busy trying to do dishes while having to boil the water, doing laundry, school work, shopping and tending to the princess's needs.
Monday at 2:30 we walked next door to the government adoption office. The 5 families sat in a waiting room waiting for each step. First we each had our pictures made with the baby which would go on the final decree. Second we had an interview which consisted of the governmental officials looking to see if we were the same people in the photo (that they just took.) Lastly we each put our thumb prints on the documents. The officials said, "Congratulation!" and she was ours forever. It was very anticlimactic after 3 years of waiting to get to that point.
The "Head Lady" from the orphanage and one of the nannies were there at the government office. They took picture with all the families. They came over to Sarah and said, "Ai Ai, beautiful."
Sarah is the queen of sleep. They must have known how much we love sleep when they matched her to our family. She had 3 naps on Monday and 2 longer naps on Tuesday. We were able to keep her up in the evening so she would go to bed earlier and sleep longer We had to wake her up this morning at 9:00 a.m. to make it to breakfast before it closed - that was about 12 hours of sleep overnight.
