It is official. We went through the 24 hour "trial" period without a hitch. Then we went to the civil affairs office, did more paperwork, then off to the notary, more paperwork, a promise to treat her as our own and take care of her, a handshake, several envelopes of "donations" and we are a family. The ladies from the adoption center were there to do some paperwork. When the van approached the civil affairs office, Anyssa tensed up. When we walked in and she saw the ladies, she just shut down. She didn't know WHAT was going on. After that was done and they all said good-bye, she was ecstatic! All smiles and acting just like any 5 year old. I think she thought that she was going back to the center!
We had to return the DVD player. Not nearly as easy as you would have thought. Explanations, a thorough examination of the box and supplies, waiting for one manager, then another manager and finally the refund...less a 3.5% service charge because it was over 24 hours (?). Whatever...it simply wouldn't play our original DVD's because of the region coding. They won't even play on Emily's laptop. Of course everything is in Chinese... :-)
