About JacJac
Back
In September we decided to send a care package to our
precious JacJac.
We chose BlessedKids.com to send the package because of
their extensive experience with Chinese orphanages. Shopping
on their website was so much fun, but we almost bought out the
place!
Finally, we decided to send her:
- A stuffed Panda bear
- A photo album with pictures of her family, Mommy, Daddy, big
sister and brother, Mimi and Granddad (Each picture is
labeled in English and Chinese. Our hope is that JacJac’s
caregivers will look at the photo album with her and tell her
who is in each picture)
- A pink blanket
- Peanuts, honey dates and chocolates for JacJac’s caregivers
- A pillow with a photo of our family printed on it (the same
picture that is on the “Contact Us” page)
- A disposable camera (We hope to get wonderful pictures of
JacJac at the orphanage in these months before we come for
her)
We also had a letter translated which said:

Dear
Director and Nannies,
We are eagerly
looking forward to adopting Shan Wei Xiao Li. Her birth date
is June 1, 2004. We feel honored that we will be parents of
this wonderful little girl soon. Thank you for all the love
and care you have given her. By the way, if our child is in
foster care, please pass the package to the foster family. We
will greatly appreciate it.
We hope you and
Shan Wei Xiao Li enjoy these photographs of our family. Please
share these photos with her whenever possible.
We are enclosing a
disposable camera in this package, hoping you might be able to
take some photographs of Shan Wei Xiao Li at the orphanage and
anything that you feel may be important to us or her in the
future. We will keep these pictures to share with her when she
is older. They will mean so much to us. She will definitely
cherish them in the future. We will get the pictures developed
while we are there and send you copies, if you would like.
Please accept the
enclosed candy and chocolate for the orphanage caretakers and
children. We deeply appreciate the time and effort you and
your staff devote to helping these precious children have a
good place to live and grow.
We have enclosed
the following items:
1) A camera, 2)
a panda bear and blanket for Shan Wei Xiao Li, 3) Chocolate
candy, honey dates and yupi peanuts. 4) A pillow with our
picture on it.
Please use all the
exposures in the camera to take pictures of Shan Wei Xiao Li
and the orphanage. Please give the teddy bear and blanket to
Shan Wei Xiao Li so when we come to adopt her, she has
something familiar to play with. Bring the camera, teddy
bear, blanket, and pillow at adoption time.
Thank you for all
you have done for Shan Wei Xiao Li. We will forever be
grateful. We look forward to traveling to China to bring Shan
Wei Xiao Li home as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Kevin and Janie

We were delighted to send these items to our daughter,
although we know there is no guarantee they actually got to
her. About 10 days after sending the package we did receive
confirmation from Blessed Kids that the package had been
received by the orphanage (calling the orphanage to confirm
package receipt is one of Blessed Kid’s services).
So we hope that JacJac received all these items, but if not,
it makes us smile to think that some child in China is
sleeping on a pillow with our picture on it!
