Claire's USA Court Day


Claire Lin Daley
11/20/2008

Today we completed our USA/Vermont state adoption requirements to complete our adoption. This is not a requirement as the adoption was completed in China. However, it is nice to have a copy of the adoption decree in English.... for all those who can't read Chinese (including us). It was a sweet experience and fun to have just one more official ceremony cementing our family ties. Claire continues to thrive- speaking in full sentences, sharing with us her extremely active imagination (I'm honestly amazed at the pretend play she comes up with), her fun sense of humor, and her genuine love for others. Paige is doing great too. She is writing her name and knows how to write her letters without much, if any help.

Our family and Judge Fowler......................... Claire "signing" her name on the certificate (yes, she's a lefty)


With all the excitement Claire fell asleep on our way to lunch
