A Package for Lucy

Yesterday I mailed a care package to Lucy. A friend is sending a box to the orphanage, so she let me include my box. Inside we put a photo album of our family, a baby doll (that I kissed many times), a small blanket from Grandma, 3 packages of "hair pretties" for all the girls, DumDum suckers to share with her friends, chocolates for the nannies, and a disposable camera. Maybe it will get to her in time for Chinese New Year!

(I bought 2 baby dolls from ChinaSprout, I sent one to Lucy, and I will bring the other to China, and have it when she is brought to us. Also, in her photo album, there is a picture of me holding her baby so maybe on Gotcha Day I will seem a little more familiar)




~ We love you Lucy Joy JingXuan~

  1. Hopefully the nannies will know they are to share the suckers and hair pretties with the other children and not give them ALL to Lucy!

    I hope they take lots of pictures of her for you!

  2. Perfect! We sent a similar care package to Mia and she came to us with the dolly we had sent! She seemed to love it and find comfort in it :) She still has it in her crib today. We also got the camera back with many photos - priceless!

    It was so nice to have that "contact" with our daughter beforehand...

  4. We'll pray that the package gets to Lucy by the Chinese New Year and that the nannies take pictures on the camera and return it to you. Wasn't it fun buying and doll for your little girl?!!
