Miya has been home for a little over 3 months now. The time has gone so fast!! She is such a happy girl and has adjusted so well! She amazes me all the time. The thing that amazes me the most is the way she has picked up English. I know they say that kids can pick up a new language very fast, but to see it first hand is awesome. She is completely communicating in English and it's only been 3 months! She still has her cute accent and I know that's the next thing to go (which is sad). Sometimes I wonder what her Ethiopian father would think if he could see her now. The things she's done, the things she's seen, and the things she learned would probably blow his mind. She's in a completely different world and has taken to it so well! So maybe the language thing isn't the thing that amazes me the most, it's her ability to adjust so well. To come home with complete strangers, to a place that is completely new and different, where no one speaks your language and be able to fit right in. She learned to trust us and learned that she belonged to us incredibly fast. She loves her new sisters and they loved her back right away. Yes there have been times when she gets mad and upset, but that's just normal kid stuff. Overall we couldn't have asked for things to go more smoothly!
