Well everyone, today was a LONG DAY!! Didn't quite go as planned, but what ever does right? We traveled 2 1/2 hours to Taichung county. Jill and Wen are amazing!! Also Jane (the social worker from Chung Yi went with us)! she is also wonderful!! When we got to the orphanage, we had to wash our hands, and have our temperature taken. I asked if it was always like this, or just because of H1N1? they said it is always like this. Everyone wears masks. Know I know why I am not a surgical nurse. (Chlosterphobia). I was using the restroom after the long trip when they brought her down the stairs. She saw her daddy and started screaming!! When I cam out it wasn't any better. NOT GOOD! So we played with the other kids in her classroom for a bit. The ones that sang happy birthday to Jaycee. So cute! She finally calmed down and we went to the car. They brought her out, and she was crying. After about 2 minutes, she was better, and was ready to go see the Dr. She started holding my hand at the hospital. :) It was a good thing. The one picture is of us at the hospital waiting for paper work after her appt. Poor little Wen-Ru, with her patch, mask and glasses you can hardly see her face, but it is so darling, take our word for it. You can see pictures of Jaycee and Nate in her sticker package (she was bribed with stickers to go to her appt if she was good, that mommy would buy them for her.) We showed her their pictures and she wouldn't let go of them. She kept them with her. :)
She finally warmed up to daddy at McDonald's. She ate her whole meal and left nothing, not even a crumb. She then got a balloon from a lady that worked at McDonald's. It was made like a sword. She played a game with Jase, and started to laugh out loud!! Her laugh and little voice is just priceless!! So here is a picture of her at McDonald's. The highlight of our day. I guess McDonald's is universal for ALL kids!! We then went to the Art Museum. This is where she wanted to go! It was so fun! They took our temps there too! She was so sweet, she took Jason and my shoes and put them in the cupboard with hers. after we played there, she got them out for us to put back on. She was so tired so we back to her home we went. We get to pick her up in the morning. Hope all goes well. Pray for us that she will be comforted, and we will be able to communicate with her. Love you all, thanks again for your love and support. We are looking forward to getting to know her better, and bringing her home to everyone! LOVE YOU! Off to bed again, maybe we can sleep past 2 tonight. :)

  2. Jason and Lianna,
    Everything will be fine, angels are watching over you. Sweet little Wen Ru will warm up it will just take time. Her world is being turned upside down. Just be patient and she will come around you and realize that you two are the best thing that has ever happened to her. We are all praying for you!!!

  4. I would say the same as Marianna. Just remember she is as scared and nervous as you are. Neither of you really know what to expect so just be patient with her and show her the love you have and with the Lords help everything will work out. We can't wait to see you all again. ITs really weird to look down the street and know you are not there. Keep your spirits up and know that we are all praying for all of you.
