Signing adoption petition papers with a notary. They'll be submitted soon and we should have word that Kai's adoption is official in a few weeks.
Funny thing...or not so funny...
We were doing our daily next day planning and telling Kai he would come with us to sign papers. He wasn't keen. I figured he didn't understand so asked him simply if he wanted to stay with our family. He very politely said "no thankyou". Yikes. Eric asked later if he wanted him as his Daddy and me as his Mommy and he was happy when he said yes. Phew. Still no way he knows what is really happening but he's happy and he was pleased to come watch the signing.
Jia and Luk thought it was no fair that Kai got to choose. So I made up declaration documents for all of us to sign and witness for each other. Was supposed to be fun and serious. One of our teens wasn't too interested in the process. Oh, the drama. Funny to see the littles take it seriously. Then we rolled them into a scroll, tied them up with red ribbon and put the documents in the alter box on the mantle.
