We had our good-bye ceremony at the care center with all the families, adopted children, and the nannies. It was a very special time as this is when the nannies say their good-byes. Maya has been in the care center since she was 9 days old and the nannies have become very attached to her. One nanny made a point to come over to us to hug and kiss Maya as well as hug Dave and I. We all cried at that moment. It means the world to us to know that Maya has been so well taken care of. She is such an outgoing little girl with so much personality. It seemed to us that Maya was very well liked amongst the staff. We could never thank CHSFS enough for giving us our precious Maya.
Once the ceremony was finished, we headed back to the guest house for dinner. I finally had a chance to call my mom to check on things as she is house watching and taking care of our dogs for us. While I am on the phone, Maya begins to scream. The nice cook offered to take her from Dave and tried to calm her done. After some long screams, Maya finally ate some food from a cup and went to sleep. We have never seen that side of her and didn't know what to do. Thankfully it all turned out okay.
