What a busy day it’s been.
The stork came around 10:30 this morning. Shocked the delivery guy when we came outside with a camera! He didn’t know quite what to think; until we told him he was holding our baby’s file. Then, he got all excited and willingly allowed us to take pictures!
In the Fed-Ex envelope, was a file with another picture of Teagin! So cute!!!
We opened the folder and EVERYTHING was in Chinese! Well, except for the America World paperwork and a few things in the State of Growth paperwork. I really wish that everything would have been in English at that point. But about two hours later, we got a call from our coordinator who told us the translations had been sent!
Here’s what they said about Teagin:
- She was found at the gate of Jianxin Social Welfare Institute on January 10, 2011.
- She was small when they found her…5 ½ pounds and 19 inches long.
- The report says she is an obedient girl (how can a baby be obedient?)
- Has an oval face, small mouth, and big eyes.
- She is very cute and has a ready smile
- When you tease her, she will smile with gesticulating with hands and feet (direct quote…I think they mean she waves her hands and kicks her feet.)
- She also loves crying
- When she is unhappy, she will cry loudly.
- She is fairly outgoing
- When teased she giggles loudly
- Is fond of playing and has a ready smile
- And when she is cuddled, she is especially happy!
A cuddly little girl!
They said that she loves music, loves to play games and her favorite toy is a rattle. Maybe she’ll play drums in school!
They also talked about her potty habits, but we won’t discuss that here….
We had her medical records reviewed by my doctor. He said that she’s small, but seems to be thriving. He was a bit concerned about their diet over there, but said that what’s good is that she’s young enough that when we start her on American formula, she’ll make up for lost time!
I cannot wait to see her and hold her in my arms!
Right now, we’re working on finishing up our paperwork. Jason’s making copies. We signed the Letter of Acceptance and will be sending that back tonight (or early tomorrow).
I’m coming down off the emotional high now and feel like I could crash! But I don’t have time. We still have a lot of stuff to do tonight!
