It's official....at least from the perspective of the Chinese government. Today we returned to the civil affairs office to meet with the registration officer and the notary. Afterward our guide, Molly, took us to a local supermarket so we could get some goods for Josie. Of course being eternally 13, I had to take a picture of the escalator. It is flat like a conveyer belt and is magnetized to hold the shopping cart while you go up and down from floor to floor. Really cool! Need that in the US along with kids shoes that are magnetic so they stay put!
Later this week, Molly will take us to Josie's former home, Dongguan City, to visit her 'finding site' and the outside of the orphanage. Afterward, Molly invited us to her home for dinner. She says her husband is a great cook. We really are fortunate to have her as her guide. She's been phenomenal!
We have our official appointment with the US consulate the beginning of next week, at which time we apply for her visa and complete the paperwork for her US citizenship.
