When we met Zoe

Here is the video of when Zoe showed up. We were at the orphanage about 1/2 hour before her and her foster mom. The foster mom was really nice and was happy to give us all the information she could. Zoe's birth mom actually gave us/her a nice little photo album of photos of Zoe and her birth family (even a baby picture or two) and a letter to us and a letter to Zoe for when she is older. It was more than we could ask for and will be a good thing for Zoe as she gets older and wants to see. The visit at the orphanage was good. The weather was perfect and we got to see a little bit of the nurseries. But, since Zoe has spent so little time at the orphanage itself, there wasn't much for them to show to us. She ran right to us and proceeded to drag us all around the orphanage like she owned the place and wanted to show it all to us. I don't think we could have asked for more. Sally, our escort, said that it was a good sign that she was so talkative - as she will be more ready to learn our language to get her message across. I think she is already trying to use the language barrier against us as she is trying to get out of going to sleep right now. Haahahahahaha Everytime we say something in Chinese, she giggles. I'm sure we aren't saying it exactly right. I guess hearing her giggle is worth it! It is very cute. Tomorrow, we go to AIT (the American Institute in Taiwan - basically our embassy) to finalize her Visa to come to the US. Once that is done, we'll be doing a little shopping and then napping again, I'm sure, since our Visa Appointment is at 8, and not close by, so we have to get up at 5 - again. ugh.

night - night - sleep tight!
