Coming back from our 2nd visit to the Civil Affairs Office. We had a family photo taken with many tears since we had to pull her thumb out of her mouth for it! After that, 2 short interviews asking why we wanted to adopt her and promising to never abuse and abandon her.
It's hard to imagine why anyone could have ever abandoned her. The Chinese families that you see here with their children clearly love and adore them. It breaks my heart to think of the parents that were probably forced make the decision to abandon her. I already love her so much, I can't imagine what they must have gone through.
Watching soccer later on in the hotel room brought out the first real glimpse of her personality. Watch her open her mouth really wide, she loves to do that in front of mirrors! When she gets overwhelmed she stares intently at her fingers or her toes and crosses them in unusual ways.
