Well, we signed our contract today which is the last of the documents to be signed for the Mongolian government side of the adoption!! I dont think they will be calling us back down there any time soon as Derek kept Maiah and Seth entertained by playing rock, paper, scissors and I dont think the office will ever be the same again.
We bought lots of souvenirs today and some traditional dress for Maiah and Seth...then we went to a Mongolian costume shop where they did a professional photo shoot with the kids in traditional Mongolian attire. One lady was in love with Maiah, said she is a true beautiful Mongolian girl......she was pleased that she had some meat on her bones was the translation!! She kept pinching her arms and rubbing her belly and smiling. Maiah just went along with it and was quite excited to be playing dress up. Maiah had to see herself in the mirror each time they changed her outfit. We posted some new pics of the photo shoot in the "Seths adoption album". The professional picture came out beautiful,we are so glad we did this....highly recommend it for future families adopting from here!! We are quite tired tonight after another busy day...Maiah is about to pass out but our little Seth is still quite excited to be free from his strict routine and has not stopped for a minute.
Please pray for a passport for Seth...we cannot get a visa without a passport and I just got back from writing a written request as to why we need the passport so quickly. I think the Mongolian Mafia has run into a problem....please keep FRIDAY in your prayers as a departure date for the Petrins....all of us!!!!

HALLELUJAH!!! I am taking several big breaths of relief and thanksgiving! Praying that God is going before you and destroying every obstacle in your way - even to the very moving of heaven and earth! Enjoy your sightseeing! Can't wait to meet Seth and hug all of you again! Ann C.
Love the photos. We couldn't get a smile very often so we didn't do the costumed photo shoot. Kinda wish we did--looks fun for the kids. Still praying that all will go well. Our passport and birth cert came back in 2 days with some "expediting" fees. (;
