We talked to our daughter!....






We got to talk to Xiao-Mei last night, at 1:00 in the morning we connected through the webcam to Taiwan. We were so lucky to get to talk and see her for 1 hour and 45 minutes. She was so cute. She said (through a translator) that she is worried about school and sleeping in her own room and the pool. We reassured her the best we could about everything. She was very quiet and shy, but did refer to us as Mom and Dad. She said she was happy to come to America and be in our family. She was happy to see Rebecka and talk to her. The social worker with her told her Ai-Ai's new name is Rebecka. I thought that might interst her into thinking she would get a new name but she didn't ask so we didn't tell her yet.



Staying up all night was well worth it. We really feel blessed to get a small glimpse into our daughter before we travel. Hopefully we will talk to her again soon.
