Care Package dilemma...


We were told that we can send a care package to Myah's orphanage. With much excitement I have sent myself into a tizzy. There are so many things I want to send my daughter. So I started putting thought into this.

-I bought a disposable camera and put her Chinese name on it so they can take pictures of her. I then figured that 1 camera wouldn't do it...so back to Walgreens and I bought 2 more.

-I bought a Gund soft photo album and inserted pictures of Hank and I, her brothers, grandparents, aunt, uncles, cousins, the house and her room..then I ran out of inserts. SO I had no choice but to stop.

-I bought a pale pink blanket for her. I have slept with it for the last couple of days so my scent would be on it.

-Her brothers withdrew money from their savings account and bought Myah a ragdoll that says "My 1st Doll"

-We also bought some toys (plastic keys , plastic cell phone that lights up)

-I put some warm socks in...

-I had a lovely day at the mall looking for the perfect outfit. Ok, 7 outfits later...I had to have them all.

-I bought some sweet treats for her along with individual boxed cereal (foot loops, cherrios)

-Myah has several caretakers at the orphanage. I wanted to send something to them so I bought them chram bracelets. They are beautiful.

My care package has turned into a shipment. I was told that I have to have nothing bigger than a shoe box.

AAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHH...I can't condense. I need to send everything.


Which led me to thinking that the orphanage would love some nursery songs on CD...

Lord Help Me......I can't stop


Yesterday Hank and I went to West Palm Beach Immigration and had our FBI fingerprints

re-done. The previous prints we had done are soon to expire.
