This has been a busy day, we have had Breanne's medical checkup, and her passport appointment at the police department. You can tell from the pictures I have included that she does not care to be checked out by people in white jackets.
At the police department she actually knew a little boy there. He came walking in and she just got so excited and pointed to him saying something in Chinese, so I went over to his dad and asked him where the little boy was from, and sure enough he was from her orphanage. That was pretty cool to see their interaction, so very cute. 
Also it was amazing to come across an actual child she knew because every child adopted in China must go through this process at that particular police department. Mike and I really enjoyed seeing her personality shine during that encounter.
Take note future China travelers, "DO NOT TAKE PICTURES IN THE POLICE STATION!" We did not know we weren't allowed to do that, and Mike got in trouble ( tee-hee). What I want to tell you about Breanne today is that she has made it so clear that she loves us and is completely fearful of being returned.
It is more than touching to understand that she is truly in turmoil when our guides approach us, or we go to a governmental office, she is so concerned and will just turn from them and not look at them while she cries. She wants to be physically touching at least one of her parents at all times, and most of the time it is with both of us at the same time. Very touching.
As soon as our business is done with our guide, medical technician, government official etc. ( whom she has ignored the whole time) and we are leaving, she suddenly becomes so bubbly waving bye and blowing kisses..they usually can't believe how she lights up upon leaving. Mike and I are just as head over heals with her, and we cannot wait to see her interact with our kiddos back at home. Speaking of our kiddos, we so miss them and can't wait to be all together. Thanks to everyone who is caring for them.
