AAI gives adoptive parents the opportunity to send a welcome bag to the child that we will soon be receiving into our family. It's a great way to say "we love you and can't wait to bring you home".
Here is what we included in ours.
1) photo album with pics of us, girls, house, bedroom
2) small stuffed bear
3) board book
4) letter from our family
5) t-shirt
6) disposable camera
Each child that receives their bag knows that they have a forever family waiting for them. They get to wear their shirts and are excited to show their friends! There will be pics taken of our little EG receiving her bag and in her shirt. So cute! Can't wait to get that camera back!
Our agency director is headed over to Ethiopia in a couple of weeks and told us that she would take our welcome bag with her. So we will be overnighting that tomorrow as well as our referral agreement. We've had it filled out for days but wanted to send everything at one time.
So what's next?
We wait some more! (That's the name of the adoption game, after all!) This time though, the wait is for a court date. And it's much easier having her little face on my refrigerator to help with the wait!
Stay tuned!
By the way...how 'bout that t-shirt?!?
