Desi and me are trying to help Malina get adjusted to Albert. She has her moments with him, very short ones, but then she goes into her little shell when she's near him. I'm sure she'll come around. She follows me and Desi everywhere and she is already repeating many words in Spanish and English!!! Smart little cookie! She is such a good girl!!! We can't believe how well she has done so far and hoping that when we get back home she continues to do better and better. I've posted more pictures of our adventures in Guangzhou. You'll also see some pictures of the families in our group with their babies too. I've been reading everyone's comments and I wanted to say thanks for your full support. It means a lot to us! We miss everyone!!!
So we finally gathered with the rest of the adoptive families after they arrived from their prospective provinces with their little ones. We all met yesterday to meet all the beautiful children. Everyone was very happy! Malina was a very social butterfly with everyone. She would wave hello to everyone and giggle with them! She was very at ease with Uncle Zhou too, our group coordinator from our agency. Desi and me are trying to help Malina get adjusted to Albert.

Omi -- You are a beautiful family and Malina is a fabulous addition. Love all the headbands, bows and those great hats -- just wanted you to know that my friend Kathryn who adopted from Russia had the same thing happen with Karina and her husband Kurt and now they are totally fine -- it will just take a little time for her to warm to Albert -- they will be inseparable in no time. Miss you bunches. Love to all, Nei Hao, Mary

Oh my goodness we are just so happy for you all. We know that whatever she is dealing with regarding Albert has to do with her past of not trusting males for whatever reason. Many adoptive girls are scared of men for the first few months until trust is developed. Remember, almost everyone taking care of her has been female so it makes a lot of sense. I cant wait to see you all! My mother comes to town November 13th and we were hoping to visit that Sunday or Monday which are the only days I have off for a while. Smooches We love you. God Bless You all! Grace and Hugo
