Day 5 - Signing Papers

Since we weren't going to be seeing Little Brother until the afternoon, we had some extra free time on Wednesday morning.  We decided that we were ready to go to the notary's office to sign the paperwork saying that we wanted to adopt Little Brother.  Since Kocherinovo is such a small town, we had to travel to Blagoevgrad to find a notary.  Blagoevgrad is a college town located about 12 kilometers south of Kocherinovo.  After signing the paperwork we took a walk around the city center to find a photo shop, since we would be returning to get Little Brother's visa picture taken the following morning.

After we took care of business in Blagoevgrad we headed back to the village to relax until Little Brother woke up from his nap.  His foster mother called our translator around 1:00pm and let us know we could pick him up.  We drove to the house and brought him back to the hotel.  We played with his toys and visited with the ladies in the restaurant downstairs.  He even got to Skype with Nikolas while he was there.  He's a very busy little boy and we enjoyed spending so much time with him.

We took him home at 6:00pm and then came back to the hotel to enjoy dinner in hotel restaurant.  Things have been going great!
