Hannah with Dianne and Kathy at WIAA.

This is some of her referrals papers that have been translated. This is a letter from the orphanage director giving us details about her. I am so proud that she loves her Mama already!
Fu, Lin Xiang, Female, born on January 29, 2005, was admitted to our institute on February 6, 2005. Physical examination was performed at the time of admission: Height: 49 cm, Weight 2.8 kg, Head circumference 34 cm, Chest circumference 31.5 cm. The current physical examination Height 75 cm, Weight 10 kg, Head circumference 46 cm, Chest circumference 47 cm. No history of chronic disease or infectious disease. She received immunization as scheduled.

Fu, Lin Xiang’s physical development and intellectual development are normal. She is a smart, active and cute girl. She is easily satisfied. She rarely cries. She likes to laugh, likes to listen to music, play with toys, and play games. She is energetic, active and quick to react. She can easily pick up items with her thumbs and index fingers. She can walk independently, walk upstairs and downstairs by herself, and can climb up the chairs to play. She likes to take a walk and outdoor activities. She likes to play with the children by holding hands. She can understand the meaning of language and command. She can respond accordingly. When her nanny asks her if she likes her “Ma Ma”, (mommy), she would put her face on the caretakers’ face and say, “Yes!” When she is playing, she would say, “rocks, pinches.” After meals, when people ask her if she is full, she would rub her belly and say, “I am full!” When she is thirsty and the nanny brings her some water, she would tip her toes and reach out for it. She helps nannies to bring towels, toys, empty bowls, etc. When she sees younger babies crying, she would bring toys to comfort them. She will also touch the baby’s face and try to comfort her. When she hears cell phone ringing, she would put her hand next to her ear and answer, “Wei” (hello). With the nanny’s reminder and help, she would sit on the potty to urinate.

Lin Xiang’s attachment development is normal. She is attached to her nannies, likes adult’s attention, likes to be close to people she is familiar to, and is close to her nanny and her friends in the same classroom. She adjusts better with strange environment.

She follows her daily routine. She eats and sleeps as scheduled. She sleeps well with good appetite. She like milk the best and eats all kinds of poultry and fruit.
