Today was what the Peruvian government refers to as the Day of Silence, where anyone can legally protest the adoption. There were no problems and tomorrow we go to get our Ammended Adoption Resolution that makes it legal. We then go to get new Birth Certificates. They are Peruvian birth certificates as she is a Peruvian citizen until we get to the States.
Today while we were wating in silence (ok, not really!) we went to the Inca Market to do some more shopping and then went to the Main Square in Lima where their president's palace is as well as the Governor's Palace. It was quite beautiful, but quite busy as well. The traffic in that part of the city is crazy...I really have never seen anything quite like it. Cami was a trooper as she fought (literally) her way through it.
Tomorrow after our official work is done, we are going to go to New Life where Alexandra lived from when she was about 6 months old until about 3 months ago. We are very excited to go and see it and meet those who were her family for so long and see where she lived. I expect it to be an emotional day for all of us. Until then...Ciao!

Yeah, I am so glad that it is final. So where was she when you met her?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations you guys! We're very excited for you and we'll look forward to meeting Alexandra sometime soon. News here is that Ryan arrived Sunday, Jacob is tipping 30 lbs, and Jessica is busily trying to keep both of them in line.
