Our favorite picture of Maeráed in Vietnam ....
... for both Carmen and me is this:
There's Maeráed, striding straight ahead into the orphanage to find her brother all by herself. We can just picture her giving orders: OK - get those little boys out here - line 'em up. I want my brother!
To no one's surprise, she got her brother out of the orphanage (with a little help from Maire, Marty and the Vietnamese government officials). To our total unsurprise, she was the hit of the entire place - everyone wanted to take her off to show her all the babies, and to make over her and pet her. She took it all in stride.

You have no idea. After lunch, the school-age kids went back to school, and the pre-schoolers had play time. Maggie wasn't sure how to join them, but she was absolutely certain about how to take care of two boys who were getting a bit rough with each other! I caught her wagging her finger and lecturing at them (in English, of course), "That is NOT the way we play with our friends!"
Sound's like our girl.
