I hadn't exchanged enough money. So right before we headed to Civil Affairs, we stopped by the White Swan Bank. The bank wasn't busy and for those that have been here traffic was light. The room was child friendly, lots of couches. I had pictured it different. We were the only one for that time, so it was all about us. Tara is shy, but she had a few smiles for us. They ask her if she was happy about the adoption and she said yes. A few questions were contradicted, so we will see with time. Cordelia came back to the hotel with us and spent some time. Cordelia helped show her the bathroom. I think she is used to the squatty potties. She took a shower and didn't want to wash her hair so used the shower cap. Curt played a couple of games on the computer with her. She was frustrated we couldn't read her writing. As she got tired she tried to call her foster family. We tried a couple of times but couldln't get through. We called Cordelia and that seemed to soothe her for a bit. We had few tears at bedtime (very quiet tears). We went to bed at 8. Here it is 3:30 and I am wide awake. We planned a trip to the zoo tomorrow. Communication right now feels heavy, but I know it won't take long. You can tell she has been well taken care of. Haven't figured out how to do pictures yet, but have plenty of time to play.
Curt and Tia were the photographers, so not sure what we have for pics. Oh yeah I forgot to pack the curling iron, so forgive the hair. Which it rained on the way to Civil Affairs.
