Last week we sent Kai a care package. We included; 2 coloring books with a package of 8 crayola (fat) crayons, 2 matchbox cars, a small john deer tractor toy, fish crackers, Milano cookies (because they came in cute small packages), a small photo album with pictures of us and our dogs, a small stuffed rat (for Chinese New year-year of the rat), and a disposable camera for the foster family to take pictures with. Our agency gave us a generic letter translated into Chinese that asks the care givers to take some pictures of Kai and his environment and to return the camera to us when we come to get him. Our agency also told us that sending a care package right away is very important, because this is the first indication to the orphanage or foster family that Kai is going to be adopted. They don't get officially notified by the Chinese govornment until they approve us for travel, which is only 2-4 weeks before we actually go! We'll most likely send another care package in a couple weeks and include something nice for the foster parents and five foster siblings we just found out he has!

Congratulations!!! I am so excited for you! I love what you wrote under 'Our Journey to China for Kai.' It was so sweet about being exactly where you are meant to be! I really want to get together and spend some time with you...talk about everything that's going on! For the next two weeks we'll be finishing up our Discipleship boot camp and then we'll plan something! Love you, see you soon and so happy about your little blessing! Can't wait to hear more.
