I am trying to force myself out of my depressed state so we are sending Lila a care package. The orphange doesn't know you're child will be adopted until they get word of the TA(travel approval)which us usually only 2 weeks before you pick them up!When you think about it that is not alot of time to prepare them for total strangers swooping in and taking them away from everything and everyone they have ever known. Poor girl that sounds super scarey to me!!! So I made a little photo album of us, the boys, the house, her room... just the basics for her to know she will soon have a family.My agecny even sent us the Chinese character for many words so I glued them on the pics we sent Mother, Father, etc... The little stuffed frog we are sending is from who else but Aunt Theresa. This frog was Lila's first gift and oh is he cuddley so I thought he was just perfect for her to snuggle.We also sent a disposable camera for her nannies to take pics of her unitl we pick her up! Any pics would be great to create her extra special baby book/ life book. She also has some sidewalk chalk via Gigi from Christmas and a sweet little sundress that I hope fits because we really are only guessing her size. Still no word on LOA, but it has to happen sometime right!
