Today we met Jaynie Lin. We arrived at the civil affairs office about five minutes before they did. She bopped-in, strolled over, and gave me a big kiss on the cheek. She said "hello mama".
I had sent three letters with pictures beforehand. She had all the pictures that I had sent and told me who everyone was in the pictures. The director told us that she was very talented at dance and asked me if we could help develop that talent. Jaynie then did a little dance for us. We cheered! Other babies were screaming, Jaynie was just playing with the bubbles that I'd brought her, and was getting to know Andrew, her brother. I showed her computer pictures of her friends that had been adopted. She got excited when she saw images of Mary and Mandy . She asked the guide if they lived close by, no sign of grief or trauma yet.
