handsful

A care package is on it’s way to Lainey in Bengbu, Anhui province, China as of yesterday! She should get it in about a week. We chose a cute black frilly hemmed shirt, leggings and a purple hooded jacket for her outfit. The nannies are getting chocolates and there is also a gift of Andies candies for the orphanage director (forgot that one last time!). We also sent another photo album with more pictures of us, a mini see n’ say, soft book, frilly socks (see a theme here?), and another disp. camera labeled with her name and picture on the back. Hopefully, we’ll get these cameras back on Gotcha day full of pictures of Lainey, the orphanage, and her friends and nannies.

Today marks 1 month since we sent our Letter of Intent (LOI), saying we wanted to adopt Lainey. We’re still waiting on our pre-approval (PA) and hope it comes ANY day now! If nothing else, international adoption is a wonderful lesson in patience.
