We put in our paperwork to our state's clerk of courts to re-adopt Mia. This way we can get her an Alaskan birth certificate! Haven't heard anything yet and hoping no news is good. I'm afraid they are going to call telling me they need more information or need to fill out more forms or something! You don't know how happy I'll be when all this paperwork is finally over! I think a little celebration will be in order!!

Forever Family Day (Gotcha Day)
It was one year ago today that we met our beautiful daughter Mia Mei. I can't imagine our lives without her. People say what a lucky little girl she is, but we are the ones who are lucky!
This is Mia's referral picture.
This is a picture of her in China.
This is her just a couple of weeks ago.

Last post-adoption homestudy update!!
Do you know what that means? NO MORE ADOPTION PAPERWORK!!! Our last appointment was today at 10:00. The social worker was very nice. It was a good way to end all this. Seriously, no more paperwork hanging over my head. I feel so free!!

Guilt
I swear, after this summer I'm moving up north of Fairbanks, buying some land and living off the grid!! I really would too, but I couldn't do that to Mia.
We are bringing my mom up to visit using airline miles. I have her scheduled to stay a week. She is not happy about this as she would like to spend about 51 weeks up here with her new granddaughter. However we live in a 875 square foot house with two bedrooms and one bathroom. A week is about the limit we can handle visitors. Plus, only GrahamSolo's mom and my mom have been invited because this is the summer we really want to bond with Mia. We are both not working for the summer and are focusing on doing things as a family. Her "Gotcha Day" the day we first met her, is July 26th. It's hard to believe she has still spent more time in China than in the US, but she has. She's still adjusting but getting more comfortable everyday. So I do feel kinda bad that my mom can't stay longer, but that's how it's going to be. But then I got a email from my aunt pouring on the guilt about how my mom loves Mia so much and would love to stay longer. Oy vey, I'll be so glad when this visit is over!
Then I will be looking into real estate north of Fox! Just kidding. Unfortunately.
