When we received our PA (Pre-Approval) for Zoey, we also got the information to send her a care package. Whatever we wanted to send her, that would fit into a shoe box size box, we could send her. We were told that she, and probably not even the orphanage, knew that she had a family and that with the care package, she would know and the nannies could start preparing her for us. SO, I went shopping! :) I wrote a note and had it translated to Chinese and will be sending all of that TUESDAY ( Cameron's 16 bday, May 31st) I THINK it takes about 3 weeks to get to the orphanage, although I could be REALLY wrong about this, but whatever. As long as she gets it!!
I bought 2 outfits, 2 night outfits, socks, baby doll, toy, My Little Pony, a photo book with all of our family in it(both sides) and had a pillow case made with our picture on it so she can see us when she is going to sleep and wakes up and hopefully this will help her "recognize" us and not be so scared on Gotcha day! I also send a "bag" for her..Olivia said she needed one and hey..I'm the bag lady, so it was fine with me!! The best thing is I sent 2 cameras. I was told that alot of times they will take many pics with them and then on Gotcha Day, we get them back. Can't imagine having pictures from her orphanage with her bed, friends, nannies and just to see her life there without us! I soo hope they take pics and send the cameras back! I am so excited for her to get this! Gotta get some goodies for the nannies and then it will be ready to mail!!! WOOHOO!!!
