Meeting Little Jinsey

Yesterday at 9am we met our guide Anna, and headed to the office of Civil Affairs. We were so surprised to be the only family there, and came to find out that there would only be one other family that day! Jinsey arrived with an administrator from the SWI named CoCo. She was dressed very nicely in a new outfit and a cute clip in her hair. She had the photo album and teddy bear sent by us months ago. She was obviously very scared and her big eyes were taking everything in! She is very tiny, but appears to be in very good health. She is very underdeveloped and will need a lot of support and stimulation to get her up to speed. She had a hard time letting go of CoCo and trusting to go with us, but by the time we arrived back at the hotel....she was calm and observant. She has really taking a trust to mommy and big sister. She is still very cautious with dad, as she has had very little exposure to men. Our guide Anna has been wonderful and she took Scott to the market to buy appropriate cookies, snacks, fruits, milk etc for the both the girls. In the end, we had pizza last night at the hotel! The journey thus far has been as good as we could have hoped for. I must say emotional and exhausting, on so many levels and in so many different ways. We are hoping for a smile out of Jinsey today, and are pretty confident that Maya can achieve this goal!
