Day 2--she is officially a deSambourg!

We went back to Civil Affairs today and officially adopted Grace--so she is now a deSambourg. Last night went wonderfully--she went to sleep with no tears and slept all night. She woke up dry and smiling and ready to get dressed and take on the day. Still no tears--except this morning when we were in the lobby and Dave had to go back up to the room--she cried until he got back. She wants us both with her at all times--which means she is beginning to make an attachment. We had to be interviewed by Chinese officials--it was a little nervewracking, but I guess we answered everything okay. The scariest question was "You have so many kids already, why would you want another?" I felt fear at that point, but somehow managed to give an answer that was acceptable. After the interviews we went shopping at a store that's similar to a Walmart and then to eat lunch--all this with the other family and our guide. We ate different foods that are popular in northern China--all very good but I can't pronounce any of the names. We are back at the hotel watching Grace put a puzzle together over and over as quickly as she can. We don't know if she was timed doing puzzles in the orphanage or not, but she acts as though she must put it together as quickly as possible. We have the rest of the afternoon and evening free--tomorrow she gets her medical exam and we apply for visa and passport. It is truly amazing how much we love this little girl!
