Our trip to the orphanage was a long, long day but oh so worth every moment we spent there.  Truthfully, seeing Chapman's face and whole demeanor totally change when she saw her foster mother was worth the entire trip.  

 Chapman had no response to the orphanage workers who brought her to the civil affairs office on Gotcha Day nor did she react when she saw the same two people the following day to finish up paperwork.  I needed her to have a response.  I needed to see that she had a connection or a bond with her caregivers.

 Her face lit up the room!  And Chapman kept her cheek right up against her foster mother's cheek while we were with her.  I asked if they were telling her to give her a kiss and they said yes, a cheek to cheek kiss.

 Chapman caused quite a fuss around the orphanage office.  She was quite the star of the show!  

 Chapman was all smiles and when I asked if she was always this sweet, they all responded, "YES!"

 After visiting with Chapman's foster mother, we were asked to tour the upstairs part of the orphanage.  Maryn quickly took her shoes off to play for a bit on their indoor playground.

 The walls were very bright and happy....

 and the bath room looked a bit interesting.

 The children all seemed happy and were thrilled to see us as we walked through.

 The drive to the orphanage took a total of four hours one way.  So we were in the van for eight hours in one day :/

 As a last resort kind of thing, I purchased make-up for Miss Maryn to keep herself occupied with during our trip.  It was a huge hit!  I had to laugh when she walked into the hotel lobby, 10pm, and the staff looked at her as if she had three heads!  Hilarious.
