She is now a Dolan. She signed the papers agreeing to be adopted by us. I have to be completely honest.. I was worried. She loved being with me, and wanted to come home with me, and understood family, and all her sisters and brother.. But she has a few favored nannies and one favorite in particular that she is worried about missing. And also her friends, but she understood they will be all going to a family soon too, so that made it easier. But those favorite nannies really weigh heavy on her heart.
When we looked through her school books today I found some scrap papers hidden in the pockets box a small book.. Along with a small three fold page with piles of cell phone numbers.. This was tucked away, hidden in her things.
Our guide told us that tomorrow we are going to go super early, just to see her very favorite nanny who will be just finishing the night shift. She said we will tour the orphanage and visit the kids quickly.. She suggested we not stay long as she is so attached to her nannies, that this will be very hard on her. She said she is going to make sure the nannies tell her they are happy for her, and that it is OK for her to go with me.
I always recommend that our First Hugs families go back and visit the orphanage. It is so important for the children to say goodbye and have closure. But I also understand just how difficult this is. This is so much for a little girls heart.
