Gotcha videos

If you want a real blessing, go to Youbube and type in the search "China Gotcha Day". Gotcha Day is the day you get your little one. There are MANY fantastic videos. I will warn you that they can be addictive. I must confess to being up till 1:00 AM at times because I think, "Just one more!" In many of them you will see large groups of people all getting their babies at the same time. Dillon does not send groups together any longer because of timing issues, so we will be going individually and will be accompanied by our personal translator once we arrive there. One thing I've noticed about almost all of the videos is that the children typically begin their journey with screaming and/or crying because they are grieving the loss of their nannies or old life. However, by a couple of days later, they are giggling and eating like crazy and having a wonderful time.

I've been told that it's a good thing if your child cries when she's given to you because that means that she is capable of attachment. She has been attached to a nanny and is grieving the loss. However, a lot depends on the child's personality as well. Even some of us adults like change better than others. This is true for babies as well.
