Bravo! Fantastic advice.
I haven't read replies and don't know if this has already been mentioned but my first thought was that the behavior doesn't fit her declaration of being hungry. Perhaps her fit was over something else, like her fear of being in a new home with a new family. Stating that it was simply hunger may have been her way of not having to share her real feelings and motivations with you. A cop out of sorts, but really who can blame her for not wanting to share her most intimate feelings with someone she just met recently. I think she deserves alot of flexibility and understanding right now. At age 9 she needs time to adjust to her new life, new rules, new parents etc. Just a thought. Hang in there with her. If she just came to you she is full of confusion and emotions.
