We meet for the first time.... Day 1.




I finally met her today. It was kind of unceremonious.....One of the nannies just brought her out when I was speaking with the orphanage director. I got to see her for about 1 minute initially, then they took her back to the play room. As I was told , she is extremely timid. For the first part of the day, she wouldn't let me touch her without screaming, and finally by the end of the day, I was able to hold her for a few minutes, although her body was really stiff. Feeding her was out of the question. She would just turn her head away from me. Only the orphanage workers could feed her,... but we are only on day 1. She loves to draw and scribble. Every time she would draw something, she would give it to me:) She also loves to play the little plastic instruments. Here are some photos.
