Her update!!!

As part of the care package we sent, we were able to ask ten questions that were forward to the orphanage. The Q&A is below in italics. It is so nice to know a little bit more about our sweet girl. And all I have to say, is we've got some serious shopping to do for dolls. In addition to the ten questions and the care package, we sent a letter that was translated. I hope her foster family reads it to her, and attempts to get her to understand what will be happening in her life.

The other thing we did was send a cake, AKA an adoption celebration cake. The orphanage will have her foster family bring her in to have cake with other kids, and then send pictures to the lady at our care package company. I'm waiting on PINS AND NEEDLES for those. It's killing me.

We also got updated measurements, but I don't think they are accurate. If so, she's gained no weight, and lost two teeth. Uh, I think somewhere there is a mess up with those numbers!

Below is the translated update:

1. What name is she called?

Hui Hui.

2. Does she understand what it means to be adopted and have a family?

No.

3. Does she talk a lot, or is she quiet?

She doesn’t talk a lot, but sometimes she is a little mischievous.

4. Is she still shy, or has she become more outgoing?

She has become more outgoing. She is active and playful.

5. What does she like to do for fun?

Doll.

6. Does she know she's being adopted?

She doesn’t understand it. But we will show her pictures, so she will be familiar with her family.

7. Does she go to the potty, or use diapers?

She is getting potty trained. But she can’t take care of herself yet. She is still using diaper.

8. Is she active; does she like to run and jump around?

She is active, and she likes to run and jump around.

9. Can she stay in her foster home until the day before we get her?

Yes.

10. Will we be able to visit her orphanage and meet her foster family while we are in Changsha?

You will have to send application to the civil affairs office if you want to visit the orphanage. The civil affairs office then will notify us. You can’t meet with foster family. But we can forward your wish to them.
