Fingerprinting HarbourREST OF THE WEEK IN NANJING
Tuesday (June 30th) we went back to the Adoption Bureau to complete adoption documents with the notary and registrar. Time to make the orphanage donation too. Once this is done we are outta here with our legal documents to wait and tour Nanjing while we wait on her passport.
During the rest of our stay in Nanjing we toured the City Gate, and 2 museums...one was the Brocade museum that Nanjing is known for. Very neat city. One part of the city seems very old, while there is a mall around the corner that is completely Americanized. Water runs through the city so there are bridges and boats to make a nice atmosphere. Harbour's orphanage is too far away and none of our group is allowed in the orphanges due to the swine flu so we didn't go. I have spoken with yahoo group members and our CHI coordinator has also been to the orphangae to confirm that it is one of the nicer ones....as orphanages go. We have received a journal of sorts (need to get it translated) with documentation and pictures of Harbour from infancy to now which is wonderful. She seems to improve in her health everyday...another blessing as we didn't want to go to the hospital. She'll have a medical appt in Guangzhou in a couple of days to confirm she is well. If she takes turn for the worse before then, we'll take her before we board the plane. She is a wonderful baby...eats and sleeps well...and soooo happy it's funny! She smiles with her eyes as Ken likes to say. We have been skype-ing from the Burger King in the hotel to talk to Thatcher. I'm missing him soo much. He and Harbour seem to have hit it off through the computer though. She is mocking him and laughing which warms my heart. Can't wait to get home...........
