Congratulations, You're Parents!

Another day in the books! Another day closer to coming home to Baba! We went back to the registration office today to finalize the adoption. This wasn't easy because you could tell Gabe recognized it as the source of hardship yesterday. Yesterday I signed paperwork that made me his legal guardian, but today I was granted paperwork making Tim and I his parents. The adoption is complete. 

The next stop for the day was the notary office. He had been fussy and wanted out of the toddler carrier (against my belly) in the bus but then he fell asleep and I couldn't get him back in. So up 6 flights of stairs we trouped with him asleep in my arms. 

The rest of the day passed pretty easily with lunch, snacks, nap, and lots and lots of playtime. Tomorrow is going to be a bugger. We have to travel 3.5 hours by van to his birth city to pick up his passport. It figures to be an 8 hour day of nothing but travel and appointments. Here's a few pics from our day!
