Gotcha Day!

Well today was Gotcha Day !! We all got up early and arrived at the Civil Affairs Office at 9:30 AM and our girls where already there. The first one of course in sight running around was Sarah lol… at first we did not recognize her because they cut her hair quite a bit but with that you could also see Daddy’s ears peaking out.

Well there she was first not sure of what’s going on then she did let me take her and sit on my lap. She saw the cup in my bag and reached for that right away. The first thing I noticed this little girl has on strong grip on her. She took a big drink of juice and the cereal puffs where gone in no time she really likes them. She did smile and laugh a lot and there was only one time when I though she was going to cry. When we got back to the hotel Garry met with the director to get some questions answered and come to find out they apparently did not move her to foster care a month ago but merely 6 days ago because it seems we have ourselves a profile of the typical Dao Hunan Girl, very headstrong does not like to be scolded and is extremely determined when she wants something ………lol………… sounds like she will fit right in and will give her two brothers a run for their money.

Well all I can say is that she definitely showed me in the first two hours of being in the hotel that her character description is right on. We where rolling on the floor, trying on each others shoes, turning the hotel room up side down until we took a bath and she finally got tired and a bit upset over Daddy trying to put some meds on a rather big burn mark she apparently got touching a hot water boiling pot, at which point I picked her up and she fell asleep in my arms within a few minutes and I am expecting her to wake up here shortly as its been a good two hours since she started her nap.

We did notice that she has a big Mongolian spot on her lower back and whatever the Director describes as mosquito bites is all over her body and we are guessing it may be Chicken Pox or an allergic reaction but definitely not bites.
Also her measurement where actually pretty accurate and most of what I brought is too small so we need to do some shopping really soon. We also where told she is in diapers but was not wearing any when we got her. So we have to ask about this in the morning when we got back to the Civil Affairs office to finish the official paperwork.

For the rest of the Day we will order Pizza in with the other two families that got their Girls today, one from Sarah's orphanage and just keep it low key.
