When we got the babies, it was really crazy. Everything happened so fast. Lily didn't cry, she just looked all around and attached to a tag I had around my neck and she sucks on my hair. We then realized she wouldn't look at us. On the bus ride back to the hotel she looked at us in short spurts and when we got her back to the hotel room she was playing and smiling and got a little fussy then fell asleep on my chest. She slept there for about a half hour. When she woke up she she seemed fine then the storm started. She cried and screamed and pushed for about 2 hours with short calmness inbetween. It was the hardest thing to go through. She wouldn't eat or drink a thing. She finally fell asleep at about 9:30 and slept for 9 hours. When she woke up she was better. She had a bottle and ate some food at the restaurant. Baby steps.....
Today we do the paperwork. We'll be back at the hotel this afternoon. For those of you we told we'd skype today, it may have to be tomorrow. We'll see what time we get back to the hotel.
Gotta go.....

I know it's hard! Remind yourselves it is GOOD when she grieves. It just shows she had a good attachment to her foster mom. That means she knows how to love and trust, and she'll give that gift over to you as she's ready. Hang in there and treasure the "baby steps", as you said!!

Nancy, Tess did the same thing, she would not look at me. With time and your love, things will progress!
