It is now early morning Monday. We are now in the capital city of the Hebei Province,Shijiazhaung. This was about a 4 hour bus ride from Langfang Orphange to here yesterday.We are here to finalize the adoption with the Chinese Goverment and apply for thisChinese passport. So, after today, in the eyes of China Ethan will be legally ourson.Yesterday was of course very exciting and also very scary. We worried how he woulddo and if he would be scared. The "handoff" was definately not as we expected. You kinda have the moment built up in your head like you will see theheavens open and the angels sing when your son is fianlly handed to you. But whatactually happened was much less glamorous but not any less special. Our bus pulled up to the gates of the neighborhood where Ethan lived with is fosterfamily and he was brought by a Chinese man who took him out of his stoller and justhanded him in to us when to bus doors opened. He said goodbye and we were back on our way to the Langfang Ophanage to pick up the Orphanage director who would be travelling with us to the capital city.When the Chinese man handed Ethan to me, a couple of tears ran down his face andhis body immediately stiffened up and would not make any eye contact with eitherme or Tommy. This lasted all the way to the orphanage. Once we got there he wasn'tmuch better. They took some pictures and we got to see some of the children. Hewas sitting on my lap and noticed a particular toy beside us. This toy caught hisattention and he began to play. In just a few moments he was looking at me and smiling. But, he was still cautious with us. The orphanage allowed us to "borrow"the toy for our trip and it was definately a hit. On the ride there be began toopen up. He even let his guard down enough to fall off to sleep.Last night was very easy. He really began to warm up and the biggest hit was thefrench fries we ordered from room service. He also ate shrimp, pizza and noodles.He is a very good eater. He fell off to sleep after his bath at 8:00 and slept until 5:30 this morning. He at rice crispies, fruit and pancackes for breakfast.Once again, he will eat anything so far!!!Well I have to go for now. We will be on the road back to Beijing today so I haveto get our bags packed again. I'll write again soon.
