Final Step in Adoption

The final step in the adoption process is to have the adoption legalized and recognized in California.  We had to take Mui-mui to see the Judge in the Superior Court.  Once the adoption is recognized in CA, we can apply for a California birth certificate.  Mui-mui wasn't born in a hospital in China, so she didn't have a birth certificate.  We are finally done with all adoption paperwork. 

Mui-mui is thriving and learning new things everyday.  Recently, she can do a few new things.  She can repeat the sounds that we make.  She can use the all powerful word "no".  When she wants something and we give her the wrong thing, she would say "no" and shake her head.  And she can say the word "give" in Cantonese.  When she wants something, she would point to it, stretch out her hands and say "give".
