Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday with our daughter went very well. She adjusted to us so quickly, I think she knew what was happening and was ready. The Care Center prepares the kids well and love them so much, the kids are just little "love sponges".
The power (and the water some too) was off and on Tue-Th. One night after all the kids were in bed, we adults sat by candlelight talking and playing Scrabble. We were actually disappointed when the power returned.
The children all did amazingly well at the transition. They were ready to leave the Care Center and have forever families. Our SJ gave Mommy her first kiss on the van as we left. I sat there crying with gratitude for this little girl.
SJ seems to have 2 distinct personalities...she's either quiet, shy and wide-eyed or crazy, rambunctious and giggly. We got to see both sides and learn about her sweet personality. She loves to be carried in the Ergo (thanks Dave!), loves bananas, pees on command, and when she does speak it's barely a whisper.
CHSFS is a superb agency for those considering adoption. We were thrilled with so many aspects of their projects. I could go on and on...
