We saw the Forbidden City and the Great Wall before flying south to the Anhui Province.
At 9 am on Monday, Nov. 5, we went to the Office of Civil Affairs. We walked into a room with a long table where other adoptive families were sitting. I saw Selah playing on the other side of the room but went on to our seats to begin the greeting process. Within a minute she had recognized us and come to where I was sitting. She hugged me, kissed me on both sides of my face and called me Ma-Ma... Blew me away!
After a short time there she came with us back to the hotel until the following day when we would go back to the adoption office to finish paperwork. This picture was taken at the hotel, she had been with us for just a few short hours.
We went to the park nearby and she drug us all over the place and later, slept the whole night through. Seeing her and Gloria together was such a blessing:) instant sisters!
