I took the little girl with me out to the airport to pick up her new parents. There were piles and piles of people coming off the plane, but no white lady. I finally told her they must not be coming. She will have to continue living with us. But she said an emphatic NO! and giggled. She's a great giggler. Finally, finally, finally they came. And the laughter rang out. Hugs were given all around and we slowly made our way to the car. Instant bonding took place. In fact, she glued herself to her mother's side and has not been separated since. It's amazing how quickly she is adapting to them and how quickly they are adapting to her. It's like they were made for each other. And her English is picking up. She knew a few words and phrases, but now she's trying to repeat everything. They are teaching her little songs. She's singing the days of the week and all sorts of other things. There was a call to the U.S. complete with video of her new brothers and sister. Everyone was so excited. She just sat and stared and smiled. They were calling out her name and jumping up and down. They told her over and over again "I LOVE YOU!" There is a whole new world waiting for her across the big pond!
