  2. Hey.. Mom told me what was going on and I spoke to a Chinese attorney that immigrated over here a few years ago. She said that give Madison about 2 months and then she will start crying and miss her friends and tell you that China is better, etc., however, this will pass and all will be right in the world. If she is bored, have her learn English! Also, tell her that her Aunt Kris and Uncle John can't wait to meet her - we're going to be sending her new jammies, Washington DC shirt, etc., so I need sizes. Is her attitude okay? Is she happy?
