I have to sit carefully by her so she doesn't think I am going to take her but she is tolerating me more.

 And Bella seals the deal with her thumb print!

Here we are the Strickland Family!

 They presented us with the final adoption paper for her and I lady for the orphanage was their to witness. She brought Bella a special gift with her Chinese name made into a stamp.

 Daddy was so excited in the taxi she called him BABA trying to get his attention.
