Trust in their judgment, they have been there before. Don't disconnect from her (both emotionally and/or through communication). Listen to the advice of the rep. Typically the first couple weeks (or more) there is an emmersion process that requires no contact from the family. The child needs to adjust to her new environment before bringing in anything outside.

Sometimes it helps to write her letters about how you are feeling, etc. It may help down the road if/when she thinks you gave up on her or that you didn't care.
