BABY CHARACTERS ON ADOPTION DAY

As read on RQ, it's useful to know what to expect:

The happy baby who immediately smiles and is satisfied with her parents. This child must learn to smile only for her parents, and not any adult who comes into her sights. For the parents on adoption day, this child is the easiest. She forms a relationship quickly and this way of behaving served her well in the orphanage where her sweet smiles gained her extra attention from overworked care givers.

The crying baby, who takes one look at our big noses and wails! This is a hard baby for her parents because she might be crying for days! Not too many behave this way. But this baby is a smart girl because she knows that her life has changed and she has lost all control. Parents will have to prove themselves to this child before she rewards them with her smiles.

The serious baby, who just looks at her parents and considers her new situation.. She is ready to reward a good parent with smiles but she is wary about this change. She too realizes that a big change has taken place but she is calm as she considers her new life. This baby can scare her parents because of her demeanor and presence, but she too is smart and ready to reward her family with smiles as soon as she feels safe.

Then there is the baby who knows she is in need of love immediately and attaches, probably very physically, to one parent – usually the Baba or daddy. This child responds to her new circumstances by finding one person to depend on immediately and might only giver her smiles to that parent. This child is very hard on the feelings of the other parent and needs patience and understanding until she decides to expand her world to include 2 parents and a larger families.
