Care Package Received in China!

I just received notice from the orphanage that the care package was received! We had asked 10 questions and they have answered them for us! I love this orphanage :-) We have truly been blessed to have so much information from them.

1. What do you call her? Does she have a nickname?- She does not have a nickname. She is called "Dong Yue"
2. Why did you name her this? - She was admitted to the orphanage in the winter time. Dong means winter and Yue means moon
3. What food does she like to eat? - Fried and sweets. (Hmmm... sounds like I've got a food buddy;-))
4. How does she sleep? She sleeps soundly and does not snore (This is sounding better and better)
5. Do you have pictures of her as a baby? Have Photos. (I hope we get them when we pick her up!)
6. Who found her? She was discovered by two local policeman: Liu, Chun Rong and Wu, Er Leng near the Rehab Hospital.
7. Did she have a cleft lip, if so when was it repaired? No cleft lip- only cleft palate. Not repaired because of heart.
8. Current weight and height? 82 cm and 22 kg (this can't be right because it would mean she is 45 lbs., I'm thinking it was supposed to be 12 kg or 25 lbs- although with all of those fried and sweet foods who knows?)
9. Does she speak? Now she can speak some simple double words. Sometimes, she will sing along. (Yayy!!)
10. Does she like to be held? She loves to be picked up and be held by caretakers. (This is fantastic news! She sounds like quite a love bug. Well, except for the little boy in the video, but he was being a little clingy...)

I am now picturing her cuddling the blanket/doll and looking at the photo album getting to know her family! I'm really so excited! This baby has waited long enough. We are at day 27 of LOA. Remember after LOA we have about 6 weeks until travel approval. Agency says LOA timeframes are currently at 60 days. Although I have seen some fellow APs see theirs at 35 days.  But others are at day 78 and still haven't seen theirs... Let's send some good vibes over to China everyone. "Approve the Forbes file, approve the Forbes file...".
