April 5th marks a big day for Sweet P. We signed the final paper in Thailand to mark us as Sweet P's parents forever. We still must follow up with three post-placement reports done by a social worker at 2, 4 and 6 months here in America. ...but she's ours. Music to my ears!
Awaiting our interview with the adoption board.
It was much like I expected... we walked into an office and were met by three ladies behind a desk. The one in the middle did all the talking. She flipped through all our paperwork and asked us questions, many I could never have expected beforehand. Many about K's profession. Many about our home state of Virginia, including "What president is from Virginia?'' Oh good grief, I'm awful at history, but luckily I do know Jefferson's home Monticello is just up I-64 from us. Then she went on to ask about the cherry blossoms in D.C. and then asked if we have cherry trees in our yard. Fortunately, we do. White blossoms. Yes, she asked.
She also asked if we can still have children. Considering my youngest was born two and a half years ago, I thought it a weird question, since we have spent the last year or so in the process to adopt Sweet P. I don't think one year postpartum is enough time to give up and decide you're infertile, is it? (especially for you breastfeeding moms, aren't you unable to conceive for a good long while after you gave birth?) So, it was weird to be asked.
But where she was going was her next question: "If you got pregnant again, would four children be too many?" I guess she wondered if we would mail Sweet P back?? We quickly told her no, four is not too many, as we hope to adopt more!
This face is of our guilty Sweet P, she figured out where I keep the lollipops and was helping herself.
This is that evening as we returned to our hotel with groceries, helping out with the buttons.
This video is cute of her toddling to our room. It's fun to see her understanding more and more. I'm so in love with this little girl!
