Day 10- Back in Beijing



Sorry.......pictures are out of orded. I'm too tired to figure them out!!! The ones at the bottom of the kids are some of the newest Canadians.....they are all so beautiful!!!"Happy Hour"

Maia is a movies star with her blonde hair

Well after a long day yesterday, arriving late into Beijing and not getting to bed until around 1am poor Channing had another rough day. She woke up at 6am and cried until about 1pm. We notice her changing so much but she is still grieving. She told Yulin that she misses her friends. Her best friend is a boy her age and a girl who is 4. I have their names so I will have to watch for them to be adopted so maybe I can keep intouch with the families. Channing is so smart....we cant believe it. She is getting more attached to me everyday, but is still be guarded.
We went to the zoo today, but I didnt really see any of it since Channing was crying the whole time. Then we came back to the hotel around 1pm and me, Channing and my dad went to Mc Donalds. All afternoon Channing was so happy.....didnt mention anything about our guide in Nanning or her orphanage. At 4pm we went to the Summer Palace. Channing enjoyed that too.....was good until the bus ride back and then she started to cry again. I came back to the room and bathed her and ordered room service. I couldnt get her to eat since she was sobbing. Grandpa and Grandma tried too. James and Louisa and Kaili came for happy hour and James got a few bites into her. Yulin stopped by also.
Anyways.......I love my girl......and I cant believe I have only had her for 6 days!!! I cant wait for the next day to come to see how she blossoms. I imagine in no time once we are home she will come around.

Enjoy the pictures!!!

Group picture of all of us this morning!!!

Kim- you are one stroooong woman! Keep it up, you are doing SO well! I'm glad to hear that Channing is having periods of happiness amidst her grieving. Thank you for being so honest about it....others may have to face this one day too and it is important to let people know the truth, that the children need to grieve.

Continuing to pray for you all,

Janet

Sounds and looks like it was a very interesting day, thanks for sharing all the photos. Wow it is big group now. Again I am so glad that you have your family and your travel buddies AND Yulin with you. Happy to hear that each day Channing grows closer to you I cant imagine how hard it is for you when she cries I know that you must want to hold and take all her pain away. You are doing wonderfully you are an amazing mommy. I hope that you can get in contact with Channings friends families once they are adopted.

As I teach about attachment, I have to say on a good note, although hard I am sure, she is grieving which is sooooo positive, it means she had something/someone to grieve for.
You are in such a surreal experience Kim meeting your daughter and having to treck through China!! You seem to be handling it so well!!!!!
I am sure once you are in the peace and quiet of your own home that Channing will then be able to start focusing on you (not new places etc) and the bonding will grow and grow.
Kim, she is simply beautiful! I am thrilled for you!
