Today we went to the Official Register. This is where we have several interviews, complete some more paperwork, and after all that, they pronounce our adoption "official".
We had a small ceremony and that was it. We are officially parents to Lydia!
Afterwards, we all went to Wal-Mart with our kiddos to pick up some items. Okay, I must confess this experience was quite interesting. The Wal-Mart in Nanning, China has SEVERAL floors! It was a bit overwhelming! Lydia did such a wonderful job at her first shopping experience and we are so proud of her!
Here is also a picture of the 5 families with us. We are all very happy and at this point...exhausted!
Until next time...it's nap time!

Congratulations-- how amazing to finally make Lydia your "legal" daughter. You have been her parents for a long time. Love you all!
Love those smiles! Lola sends her love. Harlow says 'meow' from behind the couch. :-)
Praise the Lord!
The joy on your faces is beautiful!

Hi John, Claudine and Lydia,
I am so happy for all of you!
Not only did God give you the child you have prayed for, he also gave Lydia the most loving parents a child could hope to have.
I can't wait until you bring her to Camden!
Love you all,
Robin Davenport
