Ni hao from Changsha in Hunan Province! We arrived very early this morning. Just one more sleep then we'll be able to take custody of Sonnet!
We have a lovely room here. We're thinking to maybe move the little couch up against our bed tomorrow to keep Sonnet really close. If that doesn't seem to work so well we may request a crib.
We also have a living room area and the couch works great for Tikvah's sleeping arrangements.
Tomorrow morning we get Sonnet! Here are the gifts for the nannies and provincial officials, and Sonnet's little backpack just waiting for her!
The usual practice in China adoptions is to receive the child then have a twenty-four hour "harmonious" period before the actual legal proceedings to finalize the adoption. Because of some meetings happening in the province on Tuesday we will be able to also legally complete the adoption on Monday. Our Tuesday just opened wide up for a free day of getting to know our little girl. Stay tuned!
