Last week we finally sent off a care package to Lauran. The idea is to send a couple of things for her and some photos so they can start talking to her about us and hopefully she will somewhat be familiar with our face. Especially when you are adopting special needs, there is a longer wait from the time you are matched to the time you travel. So we sent her a blanket I found on clearance at Target with LADYBUGS!! I love Target! We also sent a stuffed animal with a heart, another small toy and a picture book with pictures. We included 2 disposable cameras too, so hopefully they will take pictures of her over the next few months.
Then we included, crayons, coloring books and suckers for the other kids and chocolates for the caregivers. Chocolate from the U.S.A is a big deal over there. It was hard to find when we were in China. I didn't understand last time we went why it was on the packing list...now I know. There was a little bakery at the bottom of the hotel we stayed at that we tried and bought some "sweets" and it tasted like they forgot the sugar.
