Additional Info.

I am going to add a little information onto the last post, as I was a little excited and could not think straight. Tomorrow when we get the additional pictures and information I will post more. But for now, this is the rest of the story.

The coolest thing I forgot to post is that her birthday is November 21, 2007 (one day after Nikki's). She is from Hubei Province. We got the call at 11:40 AM today. She has been in foster care since November 28, 2007. They say she was very close to her caregiver. They have moved her to an orphanage as of late, but not sure exactly when. If the children have been in foster care, they are usually placed in an orphanage for some time before the adoptive parents go to get them. One reason for this is so that the transition will be a little easier when the adoptive parents come to get them. This is supposed to allow some time for the grieving process of being separated from their caregiver which at times they have been with their whole life. It breaks my heart thinking about her being scared like that but hopefully it will not take her long to bond and feel safe with us. They say she was very close with her caregiver. She loves to play outside and her favorite toy is a rattle. Get this.....she takes two naps during the day, usually 9-10 and 1-3 (my kind of girl already...hehe). She usually gets up at 7 AM and goes to bed around 7:30 PM. Her name means Xiao (dawn; daybreak) Dong (winter) Qi (surname which is part of the orphanage name).

That is all I have for now. More to come tomorrow.......
