Paperwork Has Arrived

Our agency called today with good news. Our official paperwork to begin the adoption arrived! We will get them tomorrow and immediately dive into doing our part to get this started. We were also blessed with a 6 min. video of Naveia and many pictures. I will post the picture soon after we get them.

Naveia is precious!! Syvon was trying to show her toy through the screen like our video calls to zarra & Zane. She wants her to come right now and play! What an amazing momentfor us to meet another member of our family that will always be so close to our hearts. We love you Naveia and can hardly await your arrival in God's perfect timing!
Love,
Corrin, Brandon & Syvon

It's just so comforted to know a precious little girl from my country has found a best family for her future. God bless you. And I know things will turn out just fine according to God's schedule. The following is the translation of the conversation between Hsiao-Yu and the social worker:

worker: can you write 123
Hsiao-Yu: yes, i can write 123
worker: can you show me how? 1,2,3,4,5,6. How about 7, 8,9,10?
Hsiao-yu: I don't know how to write 7. There's no 7 and 8
worker: She probably hasn't had any official training for writing yet. but from the way she holds the pan, seems like she's writing very often.
The other voice from the background ( I think is the worker from the orphanage): We have teachers come in to help them write.
The worker:You (Hsiao-Yu)must love learning a lot.
Hsiao-Yu:Yes
Hsiao-Yu: I don't know how to draw 3 rabbits
The worker: If you don't know how to draw 3 rabbits, who knows how to draw 3 rabbits?
Hsiao-yu: You. You can draw rabbits for me.
The worker: I don't know hot to draw rabbits. I only know how to draw caterpillars and frogs.
Hsiao-Yu: Why do you know how to draw caterpillars and frogs?
The worker: because I have seem them before. Have you seem frogs before?
Hsiao-yu: yes
The worker: Do you know how frogs hop? Can you show me?
Hsiao-yu: Hopping
The worker: Do frogs hop the same way that rabbits do?
Hsiao-Yu:no
The worker:Can you show me how rabbits hop?
Hsiao-yu:lying on the table
The worker: laughing and say "you can't hop like that"
Hsiao-yu: keep lying on the table
Hsiao-yu: why are you video-taping me?
The worker:because you are so cute so I like to tape you.
Hsiao-yu: why am i cute?
The worker: you are just so cute.
Hsiao-yu: why am i so cute? why are you taping me?
the worker: because you are so cute I want to remember you.
Hsiao-yu: why do you need to remember me?
The worker: you are just too cute....
Hsiao-Yu: There's something inside the cap.
The worker: what's in there? Can you put the cap on the pan?
Hsiao-Yu: I want to draw a cell phone.
The worker: do you know how to draw cell phone?
Hsiao-yu:you can draw one for me
The worker: I only know how to draw caterpillars and frogs.
Hsiao-Yu: Why do you know how to draw them?
The worker:I've seem them in the garden.
Hsiao-yu: why have you seem them in the garden.....
