We woke up today excited to spend our first full day with Taya. On the other hand, Taya woke up today likely hoping that yesterday was all a bad dream. Not surprisingly, Taya wasn't the happiest for the first little while and cried quite a bit more than yesterday. However, by mid-morning she was doing pretty well. She still wants to be held constantly (by Brooke) and is quite melancholy most of the time. But, for what she is going through, we believe she is doing very well.
We spent much of the day today being interviewed and signing forms. In all interviews they asked very specific questions to verify that we really wanted to adopt and that we would take very good care of her. Considering the amount of paperwork and beauracracy we have been through in the past many months, it is amazing how much work we still have to do here.
Later this afternoon, we arrived back at our hotel and went down the street for lunch. While there, she actually ate quite a bit (she apparently likes Corn Cakes - whatever those are) and even smiled for us in the picture below.
Below is another picture at lunch, Brooke is feeding her a bite of the corn cakes. This restaurant had some pretty strange food on the menu (frog, camel, pig intestines, etc.). I tried a steak and some fried rice (it said it was beef, but didn't quite taste like Outback Steakhouse) Brooke had some spicey noodle dish.

Wow, I think I would be sick if I had to eat that kind of food!
