We arrived at the US Embassy before 8am today after enjoying a lovely breakfast at McDonalds! You are assigned a number in advance and we were number 20 out of the 21 families that were there today. We spent 3 hours waiting for our turn to speak to Embassy employees. Once we were called, the interview with them took less than 3 minutes!! They stamped our paperwork and said he is officially our child!!!!! I had hoped to take pictures in there but my cameras were confiscated in security and returned to me once we left the property! We had someone take our picture upon our return to the hotel. The other picture was by the pool today. Although the weather is in the 70's, there always seems to be a cool breeze here so it's too cool for me and Peter to get in the pool! Hannah and Rich didn't mind it however. Met so many nice families here who are adopting including two who live within 10 miles of us. Peter was awake ALOT last night! He woke at 11pm, 2am and 5am and was up with us at 6am. He eats a few ounces of formula and stays awake for at least 45 minutes each time. Needless to say, I was exhausted all night and today too! He was so good at the Embassy though and throughout the entire day. Let's hope tonight is a little better!! Rich, Hannah and Peter are all sleeping so I better try to sleep now too. Tomorrow is a day packed with touring and shopping!!! We really love hearing from you on our blog comment sight!!
