Day 2 - She is officially ours







今天我们又回到了民政部办公室完成安娜的领养手续。他们给我们发了领养证书并宣布正式批准我们领养小安娜。然后我们又去给安娜申请护照。一切都进展顺利。然后导游又领我们去了家乐福给安娜买了个小推车还有一些其它东西。安娜今天跟我们很亲近,总是时不时的喊爸爸妈妈。虽然安娜跟我们只呆了两天,但是好像她一直就跟我们生活在一起。我们对她的爱是如此的强烈,我不能想象没有她生活将是什么样子。她注定就是我们的女儿。This morning we went to the Civil Affairs Office again to complete the paperwork, and they announced that the Chinese government officially approved us to adopt Anna. We then went to apply for her passport. Everything went smoothly. We then went shopping at Carrefour, a supermarket, to get Anna a stroller and a few other things. Anna seems very comfortable staying with us today and calls us mama and baba all the time, which is very heartwarming. Although she is been with us for only 2 days, it feels that she has been with us forever. Our love for her is so strong that I can't imagine what life would be like without her. We are truly blessed.
