I (Monica) have been able to watch something amazing these past few days. I’ve watched the man I know to be a great dad prove himself to be an exceptional one. Lydia has found his arms to be safe and strong. In our new hotel room, we have a crib which she firmly refused, only consoled when snuggled by her daddy. She whimpered during the night from between us in bed and he immediately scooped her up and calmed her down. His back has been aching from holding her so much.
I know that with time her attachment will even out and she will grow to accept me. She was very attached to her foster mother so it’s natural she will take longer to like me. She will eventually accept me feeding her (she has a few times already), but she will always have a special attachment to her daddy. I’m so thankful for him.
Chris didn’t want me to post my thoughts above, but I insisted. Today was the medical exam required to get Lydia’s visa. She was calm except for the blood test when they took her away (no parents allowed.) We walked around the Guangzhou Opera House (designed by Zaha Hadid- whose office we walked passed daily in Clerkenwell/London.) The rest of the day involved relaxing in our room since it rained all day.
