Poor Brennyn

Poor girl seems to have a bit of a fever this morning and is CRANKY. More cranky than usual. Nothing makes her happy. Sometimes I wonder if she will ever be a happy girl. Although yesterday she played all morning with hardly a cry. Still, she just isn't a happy girl. I mean, this must be so difficult for her, strange country, strange people, another little girl around all the time taking attention away from her.

Cross your fingers for us, cause this isn't going to be easy!

  1. It is a long road and one that may be years before she finds a truly happy place. Thinking of you all.

  2. I hope you don't mind me saying this Dayna, but she really does look sad. She's come through a lot in her little life for sure, more than she should have. When you mentioned about her crying during her sleep I just felt heart broken for her. Truly. makes me tear up just thinking about it.

    I know you will make her happy. Once she starts to feel secure in her environment, once she feels the love you have for her. She will respond...soon.

    I am praying for your sweet precious baby girl and you all as a family. It can't be easy.

  3. I could be wrong about this, but it seemed to me that one of our daughters had a much easier time in China and expected good things from people, and one had a different experience. Maybe Brenneyn wasn't happy in in her SWI either. My hope and expectation is that will change after some time with your loving family. I truler can't wait to see her smile!

  4. Thanks everyone! She actually does have a sense of humour. When it's nap time or bedtime, Brennyn pretends to snore and looks to see if I'm laughing (usually she starts laughing). She just doesn't to new things quickly, it doesn't seem to be her personality.

  5. Aww. Lilah was the same when we got her, she was very guarded and serious. She focused a lot on things and in fact, she still does, like you say, especially if it's a new situation for her.

    Sorry, I hope I didn't upset you by saying she seemed sad. I guess I just saw her solemn pictures, todays pictures are priceless though. She has a terrific smile that just lights up the world!

    Darling! She is beautiful.

  6. No worries Jill, you didn't upset me at all. She was sad looking in the majority of her pics and was sad for a lot of the time.
