Callie has been home officially for one year. It has been a year of many changes. She came home not knowing the language and leaving behind everything familiar. Now, Callie talks more than most kids her age. It has been a tough but very rewarding year. There were times that I doubted our decision to adopt. Oh how time changes things! Callie is finally past most of her extreme trust issues. She no longer cries when the babysitter shows up or when I drop her off at daycare. She believes me when I tell her that I will come back for her. She still has some dislike for new people. Callie loves Abby Cadabby, Elmo, Yo Gabba Gabba, Diego and Dora. She loves to sing and dance. She is a true drama queen. She loves to dress up with necklaces and fancy shoes. She knows her ABCs and can count to ten. Callie is smart and loving. We are so grateful for her!
