We were so excited today we could hardly stand it. After breakfast we met with our guide, Amy & she told us all of the paperwork & what toys, etc. to bring with us to meet Kai. That was at 10:30 a. m. then we had to wait until 2:00 to actually go to Civil Affairs to get her.
We went with 4 other families whose children were also from this Province, but she was the only one from Dongguan. The room was VERY crowded (one of the largest groups ever, we were told, 38 families getting their children). We had only been there a few minutes & they called our name & Kai's nanny (or a yi as she says) brought her out to us. She screamed bloody murder when I took her from her nanny, then about 30 seconds later she was fine. We then gave our donation, gifts for the nannies & gifts for the orphanage & we were finished. Her a yi came over to tell her bye & Kai wouldn't come back to either of us. Kendall pulled her away while she was throwing a kicking screaming fit! Thank goodness for banana puffs because in a few seconds she was calmed back down & eating as fast as she could!
She is MUCH smaller than we expected. They said they guessed her DOB...& we think they were definitely off a few months. She is tiny & much more baby than toddler.
She wanted to play so bad when we got to the room, but she had missed her afternoon nap & she was so tired. We decided to give her a bath, feed her a bottle & see if she would go to sleep...she was out cold by 7:30. Then we fed ourselves room service & were also in bed by 8:30.
