It was the first time I knew she understood me.
We've worked on this since the day we picked her up from the orphanage. To most, its not a ginormous deal, but to me, its a breakthrough.
Its a simple command . . ."Clap your hands, Maya!"
Any other time I've said this to her, a blank stare is all that's returned.
But today . . .

She understands me. I know she does, and it makes me so, so happy. I hope and pray that her understanding of love and family is increasing, too, and that it brings her a feeling of safety and comfort.
What a happy day :).
Love,
Paige
So precious to see her understanding you! Thanks for sharing the video. Love it! (P.S. I am adopting through Lifeline as well and have been following your story. So neat to see you at home with your little girl now!)
