    Kelly,

    Samantha is beautiful!! Congratulations! We adopted a 12 yr old from China last year and just passed our first Gotcha day anniversary. I'm so glad to see another "older" child finding her family!

    Oh, and the communication will come. It just takes time (as I'm sure you know!)

    I watched the video and she does look very shy and a little scared.

    This brings back so many memories of adopting our oldest a year ago. She was about to age out too.

    Thanks for sharing. I look forward to reading more. :-)
