Wow!!!! Today was an amazing day! We met Jenna, and yes, she likes her name - so Jenna Joy it is. She is wonderful! She is perfect for our family in so many ways and we for her - it was so neat as we talked with her social worker and foster mom. The similarities are abundant :)


She is even cuter in real life than in her pictures we have of her. She is so kind and thoughtful - she says thank you and please for everything. At the orphanage, she got chairs for everyone to sit in ,and when we got back to the hotel, she got our slippers for us to put on. She is adjusting and it will take time, but she says she is happy and seems to be enjoying herself. She is quite the little artist and we have spent much of the day communicating and playing through drawing pictures. She never tires of drawing. We have played several games and she is a whiz at all of them! Tonight has been a little rough as she misses her foster family, but we allowed her to call them, and she has been enjoying the rest of the evening just fine.

Right now she is watching one of her favorite shows - a Korean teenage sitcom :)

Tomorrow we're off to AIT to get her visa and then we will spend the day at a theme park. I will try to post more later, but today has been the realization of a lifelong dream - it was more than mere words can describe. Jenna is everything we hoped she would be - her spirit and personality are just so sweet.

The posts are of our meeting and with Penny and Mr. Yeh (our driver).
