I finally got the care package for our little girl sent off this week! It amazes me that all of that work comes down to one little box. Thank you to my Spanish speaking friends who help translate a ton of it! Here is what I put in it:
- Letter to our future daughter (in Spanish)
- Letter to the foster mom thanking her and asking her a ton of questions (in Spanish)
- Texas t-shirt that says “Somebody in Texas Loves you” in Spanish
- Bag with her initials on it to put all of her stuff in
- Video of our family and friends introducing ourselves and showing her around our home (in Spanish which was quite an endeavor!)
- Photo album of family and friends and home (Spanish and English captions)
- Fun sticker book
- Artbook gift from a new little friend
- Small Texas teddy bear with a voice box inside of my voice telling her that I was her mommy, I loved her and I couldn’t wait to meet her
- Supplies to give her a going away party at her foster hone with her friends there
- Coloring books, stickers, crayons and colored pencils for the other foster kids in her home
- Glow sticks (are those just fun!)
- Jewlery and flower pin for the foster mom
Above is a picture of all we put in and the final box. It was an industrial box so I had to cover it all up!
I am so proud for you all. What a lucky girl to find such a sweet forever family. I live you guys!
Love the care package! She is going to be so happy when she sees all the love that has gone into your package. You all are almost there:)
