Finally got Jake

Well the day started at 8am and we met Jake at the Provincial Office in Hebei. The director of the orphange and Jake's Foster mom drove 3 hours to bring him to meet us. Jake was scared at first and cried for a while. We needed an offical picture of Holly, Jake, and me and Jake was crying in the picture. Holly gave Jake the Tigger stuffed animal and he wanted nothing to do with it a t first. After all the paperwork we had to travel to the notary and have everything notorized. Jake started warming up to us and Holly would not put him down. Holly attempted to Jake into the squatty potty to pee before our 3 hour ride to the police station to get his passport. We proceeded to drive 3 hours to Jake's home town to the police station to apply for his passport. Jake slept in Holly's arms most of the way there. We got all the stuff done there and learned his passport may not be ready for a week which will mess up our whole schedule but that's another story. We finished there and headed 3 hours back to the hotel. Jake and Holly sat in the back seat and Jake amused us all for most of the ride. First he decided to rip the pop ups off of the page on the Elmo pop up book that the Ackerman's got him. Then he tried to eat his Tigger toy and played the drums on his cheerios container. Our guide "Sim" said he never say a baby so happy and who was not crying the whole time. We are back at the hotel now and exhausted and starving. I tried to order room service 3 times and keep getting hung up on because nobody speaks friggin English. I'm about to go Bruce Lee on someone so I gotta go now and find some food for my family. We'll post some more pics later.
