Ni Hao from Guangzhou







Hi all! Having a great time and making a lot of progress and strides with little Jinsey. She is now walking very well, almost able to run, playing, laughing, talking in Chinese and possibly saying Maya....feeding herself and putting on her own shoes and some clothing. She has totally warmed up to Dad and has a very gentle and kind demeanor. She easily shares and loves to touch our faces and hair. Very sweet! Her health seems to be staying stable and she has more energy and appetite than we ever expected! She loves the bath and looking at books. Maya continues to be a super champ and so adaptable to each situation and city and hotel and environment. We have met some very nice couples from New York and have had dinner with all of them each night. The one family has a daughter who is 7 (Margaret) who has become fast friends with Maya. All medicals came back fine including the TB test for Jinsey. We still have no formal diagnosis, but that will come once we return home. Tonight we are going on a boat cruise on the Pearl river with the rest of the families and tomorrow Jinsey will be sworn in as a U.S. Citizen. We are very much looking forward to coming home, but a bit nervous about the flight. Hoping Jinsey does better this time around than the first. Either way, once we are home, we know comfort and our own environment will help foster more love and bonding and trust. XOXOXOXOXO.

  2. I noticed that Jinsey is smiling next to Scott--awesome progress for a little girl not so used to men, much less a new dad! I'm sure she will love coming home to AZ. (Well, once you ARE home she'll be pleased--Wishing you guys luck on the plane ride!) Keep us posted!... xoxo
