What a big day!! We packed up our bags and checked out of the hotel without issue. We went back to the Civil Affairs Office and picked up some more paperwork (final adoption papers, I think). That office is in LOVE with Yang! She remembered everyone and everything from our visit 2 days ago and when it was time to leave, she cried and cried, SO upset to leave the C.A. official!! This little girls gets SO attached to people!! It was actually pretty hard to get her to leave the office and walk down the street! (The official heard her bawling from inside and she came out with another bag of candy! LOL) We all felt SO bad for her! After that, we... let's see. What did we do? Oh, yes, we went to the bank and deposited the orphanage donation money into the orphanage bank acct. Then we grabbed a quick bite to eat from 7-11 and went to the notary office and got a bunch of documents copied and notarized. Then we went to the police station and got her passport picture taken and applied for her passport, with the help of an orphanage official who had arrived. (This is unusual - these people really care!) She also had brought the medical supplies and instructions for me. After that, we headed for the airport for our 7:45pm flight to Nanjing. What a tiring day! All in all, Yang is being really good. She acts like a spoiled brat when the guides are around (or any Chinese people, really - strangers won't stop giving her food!!!!), but when she's just with me, she's quite good! I've started using a little discipline with her (mainly telling her NO and not giving in to her constant demands) but I do understand that all of this is very overwhelming and no doubt she is homesick. (She had another cry last night at bedtime.) Poor little thing. She is just SO extremely cute!

Right now, we are sitting at the gate, waiting for our Nanjing flight. I'm nervous about getting a taxi to the hotel, but it must be done somehow. Tomorrow morning, I meet JiangMei!!
