Care Package Received!

The parents of one of the most adorable boys in China just met him yesterday. In the meantime they had visited the same foster home where YuHe is because that is where he lived before he was sent back to his hometown to process his adoption. They delivered her care package and I have some wonderful pictures of her opening up her gifts and reading our photo album to her. Priceless. Thank you so much Michelle and Stefan!

Some comments from them include: She is very smart, very outgoing and full of energy. Her nannies read her photo album to her and showed her who everyone was. Then she ran over to her friends (all boys by the way) and pointed at the album saying "mama" and "baba". She loved seeing the pictures of herself. Pointing to her picture, then herself.

I've just been so blessed this past week by people who want to help us connect with our baby girl! First was Michelle and Stefan who offered to bring the package with them despite having hundreds of pounds of luggage to tote about. Then a friend I've met along the way who volunteered at Yuhe's home last Fall offered me a glimpse into her preschool class today. I wasn't able to download the videos but I did get to see them myself and boy is this girl going to crack us up! She and Ava are going to get along wonderfully. And I'm thinking I've found Aidan's twin. These three are going to be the three musketeers for sure! Then my friend Amy turned these pics from a PDF to a JPG which is way beyond my technical ability so that I could post them here to share with everyone. Thank you so much everyone for making my wait a little more tolerable!

Logged In Dossier

Our Dossier is officially in China as of March 25th. We are 16 days into our wait for approval which is currently taking an average of 60 days. Still looking like August travel! Here we come baby girl!

In the meantime a fellow Adoptive Parent is going to get her little boy from the same foster home as Yuhe and offered to deliver her care package in person! So I sent the care package off to Wisconsin so they can bring it with them tomorrow on their trip to China to pick up their beautiful little boy! Perhaps little Yuhe will be in the background of their pictures? I hope so!

Photo Album, doll, hello kitty coloring book, candy, chocolates, sunglasses, flower barrettes and a dress- What more can a girl ask for? Oh I know- shoes! Oops!


I got some darling pics of her today in our monthly update but blogger won't let me post them because they are in a pdf :-( Bummer.
