Bella Xiao Han will also receive a fresh-handmade-birthday-cake with this package. It is made in her local province-- We wanted her and her foster family to be able to celebrate her Birthday. And for them and her to know we miss & love her, and to thank them for caring for Bella while the paperwork process is drawing to a completion,-- as we wait... Bella is turning 5!

sisters...forever!

These are some photos from 2008 from "our Personal stash" of photos that Hannah came 'home' with during the adoption process of herself in 2008.

These photos are of Hannah age 7 (back in 2008), and her sister Deanna age 4.5 (2008)... these are the girls ("our girls") in China-- Priceless. Hannah is in the stripped pink and white shirt, Deanna is in the yellow and red sleeved shirt. The girls are passing out the candy we had sent in a care package to Hannah and her foster family at the orphanage--2008.This is Deanna front and center in her new red and gray winter coat; she is about age 3.

Two more, Care Packages

We sent two more packages and two more letters to our two children waiting in Henan. PJ's and blankets, candy, camera and a small toy. We used Ann Service in China again, we love her. :o) She resides in Hannah's Province of Guangdong. Ann at http://redthreadchina.com/ will translate our letters, and get back to us with the personalized pictures of our packages being sent. I love Tigger and Eeyore!, but, the "cRaZy cOw" Pj's... are good for a laugh. :o) I bet Scott, "misplaces those". LOL!Athena, has Mickey and Minnie Mouse "in love" Pj's! awhh.

... signing off, leaving you with a picture of each ... :o)

Care Packages

We are sending care packages to our two newest children in China, waiting in Henan for us. We hope to travel in a few short weeks to bring them home. In the mean time we want to get to know them, and them us...

We are working with Ann, she lives in Guangdong, China where Hannah was from. We use http://redthreadchina.com/ to connect, it makes it much easier to use her service/store through her website to send the care packages. The packages will get there faster and safer with her tremendous service. Ann will translate our letters we wrote to each child, and put our family pictures into a pretty album to delivery to them. We sent our son and daughter a set of clothes, candy ;o) and a camera too, so they could take pictures of their friends and nannies before we come.

Update 07.27.09: We received a couple new pictures of Scott, and his new measurements from his SWI, through Ann.

Update 07.28.09: We did receive Athena's new measurements and 3 pictures.

Care Package: Hannah is coming home

We sent Hannah a care package this week, through Ann in China. It is the last package before she comes home; we told her how much we love her and that we will be coming to China for her very, very soon.

Her First Birthday Party! Hannah MeiRu & her friends.

Good News, Not our LOA {Letter of Acceptance} that we are waiting patiently for..but

We sent Hannah a Birthday Party Care Package, through Ann at RedThread in China. We found out that Hannah received her cake and the SWI {Social Welfare Institute, aka Orphanage} agreed that they would take pictures at the party for us and... they also said "yes, Hannah can have a TUTOR!"{ it will be simple English, the SWI said I can pay them for the Tutor, when "I come for her"}.. That's great news!! They know I am coming!!... now just get those acceptance and travel documents over here. LOL :o)
