Kari has officially been a member of our family for one month. Everything is going much better than we expected. There have been times when she is frustrated with the communication problems, but we working through it. We have decided that she will begin 7th grade in January - after the Christmas holidays. Kari is a little scared since she does not know English and won't know how to communicate with anyone. We have assured her that she will learn the language quickly once she begins school.
Kari, Kylie, and Kayla get along great. They have not been any disagreements so far, but I know they will come at some point. It's great to hear Kari and Kylie giggling in their room at bedtime after lights out. Kari has been clothes shopping, shoe shopping, gotten her ears pierced, had a manicure, and been on numerous Christmas shopping expeditions. She is attending the Chinese church on Sundays and Wednesdays and gets to speak with others who can understand her. She has met all of her grandparents and uncles and aunts. During the holidays, she will meet her great-grandmother.
