September Update

Our adoption facilitator (Cathwel) in Taiwan gives waiting families monthly updates on their children. This is our first update since being matched with Naveia. No new info on Kai but a few new pictures. They did tell us they are arranging for Naveia and Kai to start meeting once a month. They have never met nor do they even know the other exists. I am so glad they are going to start getting to know each other.
Kai in his home with a foster sister.

Favorite food; fruit, loves food

Favorite activity; blocks, toy cars, and pretend games.

Fear; shy with strangers We got 5 new pictures of Naveia and a video clip. She is busy hula hooping, bouncing balls, hopscotch, and doing front rolls. I must say she seems very coordinated. Maybe she will be my dancer. We did get some updated information on her. The biggest change is that she was moved from the nursing home into a foster family. She is learning what it's like to be in a family unit. I was sad that she had to go through yet another transition in her young life but glad that she is adjusting well and learning new things. I also just learned that she has a crossed eye. I prayed that they would do something now to help with it. My prayer was answered the update says she will be getting glasses. She is now in preschool and enjoys playing with her peers.

Favorite food; Noodles
Favorite Activity; drawing, reading books, and pretend games
Fear; Dark

Still waiting and praying for Kai's official papers to get our court process started.

Kai spirit reminds me of Zaner's! Looks very open and affectionate. Maybe we'll have another little cuddle bug. :)
