We are a family that have been expecting our second child for over four years now. We started the adoption process in the spring of 2006, submitted our paperwork to China in September of 2006 and have been waiting patiently for a child since. We finally we got our referral and plan to have the process completed and travel to China this coming spring!

Our house, in the middle of the street


After we took Beatrix in the house, she ran from room to room seeing what was there and touching things and getting settled. It was like she really understood that we were finally home and that this was her new home. I don't know if I am projecting that on her because it makes it a happy story or if she truly understood that this was home, but she settled right in and is very comfortable going around the house.

She knows there the garbage is, she likes to help load the dishwasher, she loves the playroom and playing outside with the street kids. I really can't believe how great she has adjusted.

Her problem now is that she keeps waking up at 5:30am and has regressed somewhat in potty training, but we will take those minor issues any day.

We are now working to figure out what she is going to eat. There are a lot of unfamiliar foods here and even the Chinese foods we have are not the same. We loaded up on bananas and broccoli, made rice Congee and filled a cart with dumplings down at Lotus Foods. we also find a yogurt she will eat, for now. We were told that she is not a picky eater and will eat anything. I think they got their data mixed up based on the amount of food I have seen her spit out.
