Documents and Care Packages

We received our NVC letter yesterday and Fedexed ALL our documents to our agency. This is HUGE! All of our documents, including our letter accepting our referral of Juni, will now be forwarded (hopefully today) to the American Consulate in Guangzhou and then on to the Chinese Center of Adoption Affairs. I can't believe we are almost there!!!!

Also we sent Juni a care package this weekend through an amazing woman named Ann at Red Threads. Her service is incredible. Within a day she had put together our entire package including a soft photo album of our family with a picture of Juni too and each of us identified in the chinese characters for mommy, daddy, brothers and daughter. Juniper will now know of us before we meet. And of course we are sending toys and books for her as well as gifts for the foster family, care takers and other kids in the orphanage. We feel so lucky to be able to do this.

A disposable camera that we hope her aunties will use to take pictures of her in her foster home, in the orphanage and with her friends. They will put this in a bag with her things for us to pick up when we meet our daughter for the first time.

We also ordered this beautiful little silk journal and put her photo in it and a note for her foster family and care takers to add any messages they would like.

I can't believe there are pictures of our family sitting in an album in China about to be delivered to our daughter! I love technology and the very kind people who put it to good use.
