We met Xiao Li today at 4pm. She smiled when she saw us and happily accepted a hug. I have not seen any tears but she had a wet tissue balled up in her hand for about 2 hours after we met. Her house mama was not with her and I am disappointed that we did not get to meet her. She is so polite and tries to be helpful in any way that she can. I am so glad Emily is here. I think having one of her sisters here is going to really help. I've noticed she follows Emily in whatever she does. Right now they are playing with their DS games and having fun despite the fact that one speaks English and one speaks Mandarin. Thanks for all your prayers....keep 'em coming! I know we will have some hard days ahead but today could not have gone better.
Praise the Lord!! Shelley I am so happy for you!!
