sending our love

We had to wait until we received LOA to send a care package to Poppy.

And then I had to actually get a the stuff together to send a care package to Poppy.

Which meant it was just a few days ago that said care package was, at last, winging its way to our girl.

Hopefully the contents will make up for the tardiness.

Because although it may not look like much…

but there’s a whole lotta love in that box.

    Oh how sweet! It's perfect, big or small, because it's from her family. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I would love to know what service you are using to send the package. We have heard things about Red Thread, but it seems you have to purchase the items from them, instead of sending your own. We are waiting on our LOA for a little guy in Inner Mongolia and would love to send a care package as well. Thanks!

    Photo albums help so much with the transition. I think every parents should send one before they go over.

    She will love her "Full of Care" package.

    We sent a photo album to both our kids – one got it, one didn't. It made a huge difference for the one who did – he recognized us right away and was excited and happy to meet us. I hope the same thing for you!

    Love that book! Headed to search for it on Amazon now…
    I'm sure that your sweet Poppy will feel the love when she opens that glorious box.
    And I just have to tell you that I thought having so many kids and so many responsibilities was finally getting to you. I figured you had lost your mind and were sending a carton of milk. Relief when I enlarged the picture and saw it was a box of goldfish… ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Of course there is – endless love!!!! (And can I just say that I cannot WAIT to do this, too? Our agency would not let us with the Tongginator, but I am totally breaking the rules this next go-around. I don't care what they say. Because I've totally become a REBEL these past four years. Uh-huh. I truly have.)
