It's a Girl!

Millie Lynn is officially ours! We met with the Ministry of Women and Children today and signed the paperwork. She is officially a Williams! After the Ministry of Women and Children, we went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to apply for her Passport. They won't be ready until Sunday, May 8, so not much chance of coming home early. The other two couples staying at our hotel also signed their adoption decrees today, so that was kind of fun to all celebrate together. Millie Lynn celebrated by having two big blow-outs in her diaper, which I got to change. I guess I am officially her Mother!
After we returned to the hotel, Millie Lynn and I took a rickshaw to the supermarket. That was interesting, needless to say. Two other families came to the hotel tonight to let their children play. As we were talking the subject of where we were from came up. One of the fathers grew up in Mineral Wells...What a small world!
So that is what we are up to. We don't have many plans until we get Millie's passport. We will go see Mount Everest one day and have Medical Exams for Millie Lynn sometime next week.
We are hoping that everyone at home stays safe and well. I forgot to mention that we began our day be hearing that Sam got stitches on his forehead on Thursday. So now we have missed Easter, Grant's first lost tooth and Sam's stitches. From what we hear, he was a really brave boy! It will all be worth it and we will be home soon!

  3. Millie Lynn is beautiful. Where is that bow? I can't wait to sew something and put her name on it. Fun,fun, fun. So sorry for Sam; Gran said he was really brave. Grant was precious without his tooth. Now a little sister. God has rained down blessings on the Williams for sure.
