Now that we had our pre-approval from the CCCWA, we were finally able to send our Sophie a care package! We have been waiting to send her gifts since September 26th! So, we gathered up all the stuff we had bought for her and her foster parents, and boxed it up ;)
I made a book of our family and our home so Sophie could become familiar with our faces before she comes home with us. We also added a soft bunny, a few outfits and some footed jammies, a book of nursery rhythms, Hello Kitty coloring book and crayons, a Fisher Price fill and spill purse to play with, as well as lots of yogurt melts and puffs! Mimi also made Sophie the softest, prettiest pink blanket for her to cuddle with, which I just know she will LOVE! For her foster mom, I added a beautiful red scarf, a candle and a really nice picture frame; for her foster dad, I sent a Nike golf visor and some dark chocolates. Hope they love all their gifts!
In addition, I wrote a letter to her foster family~ just introducing us, and letting them know how much we love Sophie and that we will provide a great life for her. We want them to know that we have wanted her for a very, very long time, and that we will love her just was we love the boys. She is our daughter!
It was so fun to put all this together! We had to wait ~three and a half months from the time we accepted her as ours...that is a LONG time to wait to send our love some gifts ;) So, now we wait. We are hoping to travel in about 2 short months! Praying this time will fly by.....
