I have been tracking the progress of Da Xin's first care package and just found that it has arrived at the orphanage several hours ago. I am not sure how long it will take to get to Da Xin, who is living in foster care, but I am excited that she will be getting it SOON!!! To think that she will soon be seeing pictures of her forever family, including her grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Oh, I hope she likes us!! I so wish I could find out what her reaction is.
Of course, I hope she gets all of the contents, too, along with the money we sent her. Since she is 10, our agency suggested we send her some Yuan so that she could write us back. I am so excited to think that we could be receiving a letter from her in the near future. Our agency will translate it for us, thankfully.
I don't think I've mentioned this, but Da Xin's measurements are identical to Leila's. Identical!! So, Leila was our clothes model for the care package. I'm hoping the measurements are accurate and that everything fits her. We enclosed four disposable cameras and asked her to take pics of her friends, teachers, caregivers/foster family and her favorite places. In the next care package, I'd love to send something to her foster family. Anyone have any ideas?
I know one thing... I need to cut back on the size of the next package. Shipping to China is so not inexpensive. Ouch!!

She is getting so close and you all must be ecstatic.
Lots of Hugs, Ashley
I know what you mean!! Shipping to China is soooo expensive. But so worth it to be able to love on your child before you meet them!!
Great care package, Michelle - she is going to LOVE IT.
How fun for Leila - she and her sister can share clothes right off the bat! :)
