I am hoping really hard that this will be my LAST care package! I will send a Birthday Cake and some cameras to the SWI before we travel, but I really just want to send myself to scoop Tessa up and bring her to her new home!!

The Work of Waiting
Yesterday, 8 Travel Approvals (TAs) arrived for several families who post on the Rumor Queen Forum!! I am so happy for them. As I reviewed the forum, I saw many families who were anxiously waiting for their TAs in April are all in China NOW!
There is this wonderful chart created by some moms in the RQ forum to help us see where we are in the "waiting" game. It looks like we should be in the next big group of TAs which should come in about 2-3 weeks. Then it is making all the arrangements to get to China: our flights, care for our pets, leaving work, packing, then mentally and emotionally preparing for our new lives!!
I am ready to send another package and am trying to restrain myself- it will be my 6th package. I am limited to what I can get for Tessa, since I am not shopping here and sending it over. But I sure enjoy doing it!! And Ann is wonderful at RedThreadChina!
I watched Lisa Ling's Lost Girls of China 2 nights ago and was captivated!! I am so excited to know that I will be having this same emotional experience soon. I have posted it to my blog so everyone can view it too!
I also watched my new dear friend Lisa's video of her meeting her 5 y/o child; she went to Nanning last month. It was truly incredible and her little one is very amazing!! Our girls are from the same SWI, same age and are friends. I look forward to Tessa skyping with her in about a month or two.
Well, I am off to do errands and shop some more today for our new one!!
