This morning, we got up early to head to the airport in Beijing. We flew to Fuzhou, which is the capital of Kenzi's province. We had about 15 minutes in our hotel room and then it was time to head down to get Kenzi. She had come with the orphanage's pediatrician and her nanny.
I was holding Kenzi while Aaron did the first round of paperwork. I'm sure it was hard for him to think straight while Kenzi was screaming her head off! She continued to scream for quite a while. We got her to eat a few noodles for dinner, but she won't drink anything yet. We'll try again tomorrow with some milk or juice at breakfast.
She was clearly well taken care of. She had on brand new clothes - several layers of them, which is typical of China. The orphanage staff also brought us a large bag with lots of new clothes, a coat, new shoes, a photo album they made for us of all her pictures (including some we hadn't seen yet from when she was around 11 months old), the baby clothes she was found in, and some gifts for her that symbolize peace. We are so blessed to receive all of that. They love her and took great care of her!
Pictures will have to wait until tomorrow. Sorry ..... we are exhausted at this point. Kenzi is sleeping, and I hope she stays that way for a while!!!
