We went back to the Civil Affairs Office this morning to complete the paperwork to make the adoption official. We had a picture taken with Kora and Jesse and I and met with an official to sign some paperwork. Then we went upstairs to the notary office. We met with the notary who asked us questions like, "Will you abandon her," "Why do you want to adopt her," "How will you care for her when you go home," etc. He also asked us our professions, and we're pretty sure he didn't know what physical therapists are, but didn't want to ask. The actual paperwork part didn't take too long, but it did take some time to wait our turn. All of the families who received their children yesterday were there waiting to do the same thing as us.
Here is picture of Megan, Kora, and I at Civil Affairs Office.
Kora is not feeling well today. She hasn't wanted to drink much from a bottle and has been sleeping a lot. After her nap, she woke up with a fever and has been pretty fussy most of the afternoon and evening. What we do know about her so far is that she sucks her right thumb to soothe herself. She doesn't like her hands touched, especially the right. She likes motion: to be bounced or rocked or held while walking around. She also will bang her head on the crib mattress to soothe herself at times. She also does not like to feel water except her hands if she puts them under the water herself.
