Daniel's Buddy

Our guide recognized this little girl from the group home in Daniel's orphanage. They are staying in our same hotel and turns out they shared a bed together in the orphanage! What are the chances! Her name is Clara and her forever family lives in Spain. She was so excited when she saw Daniel. She pointed him out to her new brother, and she even tried to 'mother' him a little bit. Daniel seemed to be a bit confused by the reunion. Shortly after seeing her, we got on the bus to go to the park. He looked a little sad, and he fell asleep on the bus. When we arrived, he didn't want to get off. We wonder if he thought he was going back to the orphanage. We wonder what was happening in that little, vulnerable mind. It was an opportunity to show him that he's with us now and he's not going anywhere.
