It's Official. YaZhi is a Hintermeister

Milli slept well last night, but woke up with a little whimpering.  I quickly got her out of the bed and comforted her and she was fine.  She recovers so quickly to whatever makes her unhappy.  We went this morning to the civil affairs office where the adoption was finalized, the same building as yesterday.  She was very reluctant to go and her whole demeanor changed from being happy to totally scared. Her orphanage caregiver came in and she would not even smile at her.  I hope that means she wants to stay with us.  She has no choice now.   The adoption took place in an old room at a desk of a young man that processed the paperwork.  Our guide asked us a few questions and swear that we would always love her, never abandoned her, or abuse her.  Then she was ours. I guess I was expecting something more formal at a courthouse or something.  No matter what the process, the fact that God chose us to raise this beautiful child is so much more than any event could ever represent.
After that we went back to the hotel. Milli likes being in the room playing with her things.  We did wander out of the hotel in the afternoon to go to Walmart and find food.  This area is a little hostile and the traffic is scary, besides the scenery being dismal.  I was walking with Milli in one hand and Gus on the other side and a woman came at us, removed my hand from Milli's and walked right through us.  I didn't know what was happening.  She could have walked around Milli but she decided to go right through us.  I was and still am so angry about it. That never would have happened in America.  I'm so glad Milli gets to grow up there.  I know we have our share of problems, but it's paradise compared to here.  The people here are so pushy, would run you over with their car or scooter in a heartbeat, and are not friendly.  We have met just a handful a nice people at the hotel.  I don't even want to leave the hotel tomorrow on Milli's birthday.  Even the park down the street was scary with garbage and homeless people sleeping on benches in the middle of the day.  We cannot wait to go to Guangzhou on Friday. 
Fortunately, Milli continues to do great.  She is laughing even more. She eats like a trooper. Gave me no problems with taking a shower.  Is potty trained.  The only issue is that she will not brush her teeth. (Sorry Barb)  They don't do that in the orphanage.  I can't wait to take her to the dentist.  Our guide said to wait to teach her until we get home, but I will keep trying. She did cry again at bedtime but for only a very short time. I sat on a chair next to her and stayed with her until she fell asleep. She's been pretty easy.  I hope that this continues, but expecting it not to.
