It's Official!
Today we had to go several government offices but the end result-she's ours, officially. It was very hot and raining and all of the babies (and adults) we very cranky by the time we got home.
The picture is of Emmy with two of the caregivers/nannys from her orphanage in Zhanjiang. They were saying goodbye to her and all of the other babies. We don't how much they were with Emmy on a daily basis (her main nanny may not be here in Guangzhou) but it was obvious that they love her. I'm so glad we got this picture.
After got back to the hotel we walked around outside for a while on Shaiman Island. It was very pleasant. After her nap she woke up feeling pretty bad. Her cold is a little worse. But she has eaten very well today. This morning she had (maybe for the first time) some scrambled egg, yogurt, mashed banana and congee (rice porridge). She loved it all!
Speaking of food, Dave is in the room trying to get a pizza delivered. We have had a lot of Chinese food and something greasy is in order. I better get back because we all know he has a tendency to over-order.

Well now she's all your's forever, for keeps. There something said for things being official. You can now rest easy and begin your life together as a family. It looks like you all are jumping right in there....a bath, new food, wow how much fun is that. I am still so deeply moved by all that I read and cannot wait to get my hands on her.....give her a kiss for me and Ralph. We love you all and wait patiently (well not really) for your return. Take care and God Bless. Be safe. Love and miss you, Teri and Ralph

Hey Dave and Lisa, Congrats! She's so cute. I can't wait till you all get home so I can see her. Love, Justin
Dearest Lisa, Dave and Emmy, How much more wonderful can it get?!!!! I mean, what an adorable baby girl!!!! The long wait is over and now a whole new beginning for all 3 of you, isn't God great? What an extraordinary blessing you have received!!! She is truly a gift from God!!! I feel as though I've been to China and held my breath as time approached on Saturday, it was as if I was electrified!!! When Linda called me Sunday morning with the Awesome news, I cried with Joy for you and Dave. It is so wonderful, mere words cannot capture all the emotions. I await your return and can't wait till I can hear the rest of the story(as Paul Harvey says) I love you, you are constantly in my thoughts and prayers. Give her a kiss from "THE LADYBUG" Always,Carol
I was wondering if it was raining over there ? Could it be all the tears of joy from your friends and family, traveling on the jet stream to where you three are. In all my life I've never seen such an outpouring of love and support. You have shared a beautiful experience with all of us.
Love, Mom (GranNancy)
Every day it gets better and better. We are so happy for you....Love to all,
The Wearrens
