Welcome to our family website.

This blog, which began as a therapeutic outlet during the wait for our daughter's arrival, morphed into a place to share feelings, ask for support, and flip through a virtual 'brag book' of photos. NOW, as we embark on our second adoption trek, please join us as we plan, pray, and travel again to the other side of the world to be united with the next piece of our family puzzle.

Peace & Blessings...Beth & Ron (and Hope too)

Care Package II

We've been thinking for a while about sending Luke another care package.  Our experience sending a package on our own to Hope was successful so we thought we'd try again.  The wait time is so different this time because we've had Luke's picture/information since January.  We traveled just a few short weeks after seeing Hope's referral so it is extra hard now not to have updated information.  It's been a bit of a bummer that we haven't had a response to the birthday care package we sent to Luke.  We were sssssssoooooooooooo hoping for an updated picture and some information about him, his personality, his hearing, his size, etc.

At any rate, here is round two.  I was able to find a copy of the address for Luke's SWI written in Chinese and English.  We shopped for some fun things we thought would be fun for a little boy, though I must admit this is foreign territory for us.  Here is what we came up with:

Cozy Blanket Chosen by Luke's Sister

Most of the Goodies

MUSY have a puppy!  :)

Photo Album for Luke and Photo Book for the Workers

This is just a close-up.  These little albums are so great!  We still have the one we sent to Hope.  The SWI kept the original one, but we made her a duplicate so she's always have her first photos of her family.
We also included a couple more one-time-use cameras that will hopefully be returned to us (full) when we meet Luke so we can have some snapshots of his last few months in the SWI.
