Care Package on its way

A small care package is finally on its way to Kate Emerson and her foster parents. We sent a box of Godiva Chocolates for the orphanage director and a box for Kate's foster parents. For Kate, we sent two small toys and a photo album with pictures of our family. In addition, we included some Bath and Body Works lotions and gels for her foster parents. We were told that these are the things they like.

Finally, we put a disposable camera in the package. It is our hope that Kate's foster parents will take some pictures of Kate with them and their home. We would love to be able to show her someday where her first home was and who cared for her. A friend of a friend was kind enough to translate a letter I wrote to Kate's foster parents into Chinese. It was a difficult letter for me to write but I wanted to thank them for caring for and loving Kate and I wanted to tell them a little bit about our family.

I have been warned that this package may never reach them and simply sit in customs. I pray that it does make its way to Kate and the family she lives with now.
