They described L well in her paperwork as things went as expected. She is very timid around strangers (us) and took to us quite slowly. But with only a little crying I (Jon) held her and carried her back to the hotel.

Introductions
Our group had three meetings to get their children today. Six at 9 am, four at 10:30 am and one at 3:15 pm. We were the 3:15 pm, so we had to wait until late afternoon to meet L. It actually allowed us to be God's hands to others as we were able to help families with picture taking and carrying bags to let them focus on their children. It also helped us because by the time it was our turn, we had the drill down pat, and being the only family at our time, it went very fast.
