more amy pics

Girls asleep, internet working so wanted to add more info.  In the last post, Amy took Anna's glasses and tried them on.  For the rest of the day, she wanted anyone''s glasses and was not shy to ask for them.  Wants to be like Anna.  Wanted her hair down to be like Anna.  When we got home we dressed her like Anna and which she liked. Gave her sunglasses which she wears inside to be like Anna.  She has been so brave today.  Cried a little when they first brought her to us at the orphanage office.  She then commented we looked just like our photos in her book and even called anna big sister and knew the boys were her big brothers. She continues to look her album often.  We have learned the lady who fostered her was in her late 50's.  They were together for 2-3 years, then Amy returned to orphanage a month ago…. for this transition.  Amy has had times where the grief waves over her and then she recovers,picks up and interacts with us.  Even during our first few minutes together, Amy cried then gathered herself and passed out some gifts of potato chips and plastic necklace, trying to be brave, polite and smile.  She is a trooper.

 Anna was amazing with her, took her in and helped her in every way.  This picture is of Anna holding and consoling her as we had official paper work that had to be accomplished.  What a day. Amy stays on the move and wants to know about everything.  Chatters in Chinese so our guide has translated as much as he can.  She has a different dialect so some of it he has trouble understanding. We have another busy morning of paper work and possibly going to Amy's original abandonment location.  Bullet train back to Beijing in afternoon.  We will post more when able.
