Adoption is final per China.




We had another busy day today with lots of paper work being completed. We went to the Adoption Registration Office again for filing the adoption, an interview, and some photos to be taken. We then headed off to the Notary office for some things too. After what we actually did today per China, Miss Alexa is officially ours. WHEW!! It's been a long haul, but we made it. This afternoon we went to Walmart shopping. Yes, you read this correctly, they do have Walmart here in China. However, it is very different than ours. It is two floors and about four times as many people. You all thought we had it rough at ours. ha, ha. Our guide then took us out for a group dinner to a place we had eaten at in 2004. Still very good and real cheap. I don't know if you all know this or not, but we have the same guide here in Nanchang that we had in 04 when we adopted Aleia. His name is James and he is wonderful. Darren and Suzanne, he said to tell you hello. He has to be the best around. He is so concerned about the girls and the families needs. Hope you enjoy the photos. Love, Lisa, Bob, and Alexa

We loved it and have read that book about 10 times now and she wore her new pj's last night! They were a little big but she didn't care, she just new they were from Aleia and that was all that mattered! Take care!

Alexa is amazing! She looks like a baby doll in the pictures. Now, Lili really does think that she can have Alexa and the pink room.
Enjoy the rest of the journey!
