Update from Emma's Orphanage!

We contacted a lady in China a few days ago to ask her to check on Emma and see if we could get a few of our questions answered. They got back with us and our answers came this morning! I'll do my best to summarize. They call her MingMing and said she gets upset when someone blames her, but is happy when they tell her that mama and baba are coming to get her soon. They comfort her by talking to her or playing with her and her favorite activity is playing with other children. She has two other roomates that she is very close to and one is from our CHI group! Her name is now Autumn and her parents will probably have her home before we can get Emma home, but we hope to stay in contact. The other little girl's file has just been sent to the CCAA, so we pray she finds her home soon and, who knows, maybe close to us!?



They said she is very close to her caregiver and is a very brave and fairly extroverted little girl. They also said she is strong willed, so she'll be a perfect fit in this family. She loves to sing songs and likes food. She dislikes veggies, but loves fruit. The only animal she's ever seen is a bird that one of the caregivers brought and she loved it! They also said she likes colorful things, so all of her bright pink and flowered clothes should be perfect.



We also got updated measurements and she is almost the exact same size as Isaiah! It looks like we'll have "twins" again (people always thought Brit and Blake wer twins because of their similar size).
