We got her to calm down just a little in the hotel with blowing up balloons and giving her water to drink. She is wicked smart! She gathered everything that the workers left us and took out all the pictures of her from our photo album, wanted me to zipped her coat and then she headed to the door. She cried out for her caregiver and kept pointing to the door (this lasted almost an hour). This was heartbreaking. She really hasn't stopped crying so i finally tucked her into bed and she slowly drafted off to sleep. She is hoarding like crazy already. She refuses to take off her shoes or clothing (i think she realizes that means she is staying). They had her dressed in sweatpants with jeans over that and 3 shirts and a jacket. Right now she is tucked in bed fully dressed with everything she came with tucked tight under the covers with her.
Tomorrow we have our final paperwork with her caregivers AGAIN ugh! i am already dreading her seeing them and her realizing that she has to go back with us. Please pray for our little girl - she is hurting and scared which i don't blame her. Please lift her up in your prayers as we start this new journey. It's so hard not to be able to tell her that we are only here to love and take care of her. Our hearts absolutely love her so much already!!!!!!! She is TINY but long and so beautiful. Thanking the Lord that I finally got to kiss her even if she was screaming her head off while i was kissing her haha!
I am praying for you and little libby...just keep on loving on her...God will take care of the rest. She is beautiful!
