Happy birthday, Camryn

NANCHANG, China - Camryn had a so-so night.
I think we exhausted the child by taking her downtown with us and then taking a walk through the neighborhood near the hotel. She was so tired she fell asleep at 5 p.m. Tuesday and didn't wake until 2 a.m. the next morning.
Now we are preparing to go on a group tour of a Chinese orphange this morning. Then this afternoon it's back to adoption paperwork - we'll interview with a notary and sign some more legal papers to speed along the adoption and Camryn's passport.
Camryn only has eyes for her mother. Lately she has been crying incessantly for Pam and wants little to do with me (which is expected in adoptions like this); sometimes she'll be quiet with me but start crying as soon as she sees her mom.
Today is Camryn's first birthday. And she is celebrating it the way she came into the world: Crying.
