As the Ministry Secretary said after we signed his log "You are the legal parents in Nepal, you are free." So at about 1pm on January 18th Sujina legally became our daughter in Nepal. Now we are working on the rest of our documents for the US Embassy and the Nepali Foreign Ministry both of these entities will be providing travel papers for Ms. Sujina.
After we received our Ministry forms we were off to the Medical Clinic for a TB test and blood tests. So after parking, crossing a very busy street(very tricky and scary), walking down a long alley we came to the clinic of one of the two US Embassy approved Doctors. Sujina did great and only cried a little after being poked with a needle and having her finger pricked. That was our busy day we then went back to the Hotel for naps. Sujina and I napped and Steph and our friend shopped for water and a place to get passport photos for Sujina.
It has been great to be back in Nepal it is a special place. I feel at ease here which is strange because of all of the hustle and bustle. I was excited yesterday but the real triumph will be getting her travel papers from the US Embassy.
