Forgive the picture quality, but here are the contents of the care package we sent Dylan today. A few toys, photo album showing him his new family, a camera that we hope is used to take pictures of him, and treats for the nanny’s and children.Â
We sent 2 care packages to Lainey while waiting, and sadly neither were received by the orphanage…we have no idea why. So, we’re praying this one makes it. It will let him know that there is a family waiting for him (China usually doesn’t officially inform the orphanage until travel has already been approved, and we’re months away from that).Â
On another note, Randy did some tweaking to the Pages part of the blog – some of them hadn’t been updated since we began Lainey’s adoption. Oops. That’s been taken care of, so check them out :)

Hi Donna,
One reason for us that I thought of, (as far as Cassie not getting her care package) is that I mistakenly listed the contents and priced it’s value. After the fact I got the advice that we should have listed the value at zero and called the items orphan donations. The fact that I wrote ‘camera’ on it could have made the package to appealing to the person who might have stolen it.
Just a thought! I was so sad that Cassie did not get hers. :(

How sweet! I hope he gets that book and starts to “see” who his new family is. However, I wouldn’t mind if the Twizzlers got re-routed to Raleigh, NC. Yummy!!!

Hoping these special toys, etc. will reach our little Dylan and he looks at the pictures of his future family. He has no idea how wonderful his life will soon change and how loved he will be. Just ask Lainey…she knows!!!!! :)
