Today our adoption was finalized!!!! Marika is a true joy- wonderful and totally mellow! She cried a bit during the night and has not cried since. She seems quite content just playing quietly. She is also becoming very attached to Mia, which is great to see! In one of these pictures is the orphanage director, Ms. Tang, along with one of the nannies that Marika was particularly attached to. Off to explore Nanjing!
I love the way both you & Mia are beaming with happiness. Can't wait until Mari gets there too. Am eenjoying following along.
