Yeah, the little princess is finally officially mine now. She's not too happy about it yet. She cried for the first hour or so, then we took a bath and got cleaned up to go downstairs to have lunch. I couldn't get her to eat one bite of anything. I ordered something that looked like what they would get to eat three times a day in the orphanage, rice, chicken and vegetables, and she wouldn't even look at it. Next I tried a bananna, her favorite, and no luck. The waitress/ attendant wanted to feed her, and I told her no. I want the food to come from me now, and no one else. Hopefully, if she gets hungry tonight or even tomorrow morning, she will take food from me.
The G& R Ceremony was not what I expected. I don't know why, but I expected more people to be there for some reason. It was just the nanny, the orphanage director, Jasmine, me, my in country representative, and the Department of Justice official. We signed the forms, the DOJ gave a speech about how many orphans need homes since the war, then I said something like she will have the best schooling, care, and love. That was it. Very short and simple.
The princess is napping right now. It has been raining pretty much non stop since I got here, with the exception of one day. Today, it is pouring sheets of water... not raindrops.... just like the first day I got here. It's a jungle out here! So, here we are in the town of Tam Ky which is the capitol of Quang Nam province. Everyone said, "you don't need to bring alot of baby clothes, toys and supplies because there are stores everywhere. Well, I am glad that I brought all of the stuff I did, because nowhere have I found to buy baby clothes or supplies either in Hoi An or here. If it's not raining tomorrow, we will take a walk and see what we can find. Might as well, .... we are stuck here for at least 5 days.
