The best day yet!!!

After the episode at the end of the day yesterday it has been relatively smooth sailing for the Nicholsons. Last night was the first night that Harley has slept through the night without crying for her foster mom. We had breakfast as normal and then met Mei-Ru and the Dias clan for our AIT appt.(American Institute in Taiwan) Since Taiwan is not officially recognized as a country there cannot be an American Consulate as there is in Guangzhou, China. At the AIT they have toys to keep the children occupied while you are waiting. Harleys only setback was when she saw her social worker from Cathwel, I'm sure it brought back memories of FM. After the appt. we went to a pay by weight Taiwanese buffet which cost my family of four around $4 USD, it was delicious. Then we visited a Chinese Handicraft Mart where we purchased matching pink silk dresses for the girls, and handbags among other goodies We then visited the Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall, which was beautiful even under construction. Mei-Ru brought small packages of floating fishfood for the three girls, Melanie, Bobo and Harley so they could feed the Koi in the ponds on the Memorial grounds, It was so cool!!! Tomorrow we travel to Miao Li on the west coast of Taipei (Harley's hometown) to visit some biological family members. We don't believe it will have a negative effect on Harley, we worry she will recognize landmarks as her foster family lives in Miao Li.
