Orphanage Visit

We have been so busy and exhausted I have been slacking on the blog. We went to the orphanage today. It was very nice. There were lots of sweet children there.
The drive was about 2 hours and Jayda fussed for over an hour. She was sleepy, but would not settle down. When we got there her foster mom came out and took her. She was happy to see her. When it was time for her to leave Jayda waved and did not fuss a bit. We visited the younger kids rooms but they were sleeping. Some of the older children were happy to see us and came running to greet us. They were very sweet. I was fortunate enough to meet some of the other children that will be coming home soon and I was able to get pictures to send to their parents. Several of the nannies came out of their rooms to talk to Jayda. She let a few of them hold her but it was not long until she reached out her arms to me. That made me feel great, she knows she is supposed to be with her momma. The ride home was better, we stopped at McDonalds then headed back. She slept the whole way. When we got back in the hotel lobby she was visibly happier and when we got in the room she was so glad to be there.
