Well yesterday was such a whirlwind. I am still trying to catch my breath. We headed out to captial of the province fairly early yesterday morning. It took us about 1 hour to reach the city and then onto the civil affairs building. Ryan arrived shortly there after wih several ladied one of which was the associate orphanage director. It seemed as though the director did not want to let him go. Ryan was not interested in mommy at all she did not seem to really push the subject. He did take to his big sister right away though. They played non stop while daddy did all the paperwork. I just sat there taking in the two kids play with each other. Him and Emma really took to each other. She was such a good big sister! She showed him all his toys and of course the snacks that we brought. Once we left the civil affairs building, we headed out to the notary office. Again the director stepped in when Ryan did not want to go with us. She took him in her car and meet us there. I was not happy but if it helped him, then whatever it takes. Once at the notary we finished the paperwork to head back to Boading. He did not want to go with us of course so the director walked to our awaiting car and proceeded to give him to our guide. This seemed to help though because he only cried alittle bit. Then back to the train station and on to the security office in Boading. Where we meet the assistant orphange director. Once we left their he had a melt down when trying to go car. I picked him up but assoc. orphange director came over and took him out of my arms and walked him to the taxi and again gave him to our guide. He cried a little bit but has seemed to really calm down once we got back to the hotel. So far so good. He is a really happy little boy full of smiles so far.
Well I took alot of video but I cant seem to get it to load on my computer but I will post you some pictures. Again we are truly blessed with out little boy and awesome big sister.
