Today, it is with immense gratitude, that I had the privilege to become a mom one more time. We were supposed to leave to go to civil affairs at 3pm, but because a typhoon came in last night, I found out this morning, that we would meet at the hotel.
Chun came in, accompanied by the orghanage director, and gave me a big "ni hao, mama" she has a great smile and dimples, and has been a little in "hyper-mode" talking up a storm, and looking around. I have to admit, it was very hard for me to control my feelings. We did our nails, played cards, had some treats, and basically had a very good day. The guide told me later, that she asked if she could go to McDonalds for dinner, b/c she had never been there before. Wish I had my camera with me, but I got to watch Chun have her first hamburger :)
She has called her foster parents a few times, as well as one of her good friends. Her foster mom called on the guides phone and asked to talk to me...she was very happy for Chun and answered lots of questions.
She even sent her with 2 books so she could continue to practice reading and with the hope of her keeping her language.
Tomorrow, we will do most of the paperwork. Our guide has been wonderful, so far, her is very interactive with Chun, and she is very open with him...which is letting me into a small portion of her world. Can't wait to see what comes next. Maybe better pictures! Thank you for all the prayers and good wishes. Can't wait to skype with the kids tomorrow, so they can meet Chun (aka "the girl" from Mazhu :)

So very happy for you all! "The girl" is gorgeous! I remember the "hyper mode" all too well. Thankfully that calms down as the nervousness gets better! xoxoxo
