What We Know

Well, our agency is back from Thailand, but wasn't able to find out anything about our girl this trip. I don't know why and was VERY disappointed, but I guess they were very busy with all the new kids Wacap was able to see, so they couldn't discuss our case. I have to believe they had good reason for it, but I was bummed because this means we just sit and wait now until Dec or Jan for our referral to come in. And for those that don't know what that means, it is our official paperwork saying yes, she is yours and you will travel soon. However, after that referral you still have to wait approx. 2-8 weeks before you get to go over.

If it wasn't for 2 wonderful moms that have gone there in recent months, I would really be dying right now. But by the grace of God, I found these two and found out the following about our baby and the orphanage.

She is being well taken care of by nannies that care and work very hard.

They work 24 hour shifts and then have a day off in between.

In every pic the place looks spotless clean with new hard wood floors and new pink cribs.

The kids and babies all look clean and dressed well and have nice new toys.

She is being fed rice with chicken or pork and veggies. So glad she is getting veggies!

She still gets 2 bottles a day. One in the morning. One at night.

She is still in diapers and probably will be when I get her.

She is still sleeping in a crib. Glad we bought one!

I was told her teeth look good and most of the kids there have good teeth.

She has gained weight since the last pics so she is being well fed.

She has just started walking, but not talking yet.

She is cuter than ever!

It may not seem like much to go on for those of you who are not adopting. But for us, this information is like GOLD. It helps so much to have a little glimpse into her world and also to be more prepared for her. Last but, not least, we know this fact: SHE IS GOING TO BE VERY SPOILED! Not forever, but surely in the beginning!
