We have been blessed to receive two updates on Sienna Grace
since we first saw her beautiful face in September 2009. Her
original file was created in March 2009 and it described her
this way...
“XiaChang is 3 years old and 8 months. She is an extrovert and
active girl. She likes to communicate with others and is fond of
playing outdoors with children in the neighborhood. It went on
to say she likes to wear beautiful clothes!” (We knew she was
going to fit right in!!!!)
In November we were blessed to get our first care package
delivered to our new daughter. She was 4.4 years old when she
received it. Here are some of the answers we received from Xia’s
caregiver:
• XiaChang likes to play with other children. She loves singing,
dancing, and dressing up!
• She is not picky about food. She prefers sweet things.
• She will smile when she gets what she wants!!! She is happy
when she plays.
• She adjusts to new surroundings very well.
• You could hold her or give her snacks or toys when she gets
mad.
• She loves to be held!!
• Her favorite toy is dolls
• Her favorite color is red.
We can’t wait to meet our little extrovert, that has mastered
the art of smiling to get what she wants while singing, dancing,
playing with dolls and eating sweet things!!!
