Care Package #3

I had asked my agency to get an update in Jin Pei for us... I am so wanting to know her height/weight so I can pick up a few items and the last reports we have are now 11 months old. I got a "we will try" response and have heard nothing else (I haven't been very patient so it really hasn't been long) so I decided to send another care package through the company we used in March, this time with clothes. I asked the sender if she would let me know Jin Pei's size, whether she is in foster care or the orphanage, and what they call her, figuring that at least her size would have to be asked anyway for the clothes. I was optimistic because I know she has gotten updates for other families but didn't want to push my luck asking too much, even for more pictures.

I ordered the package last Saturday and all week have been looking for an email with information. This morning I got a picture of the package but nothing else except a note saying Jin Pei should get it this weekend. The picture was attached to an email from March's care package we sent so now I don't even know if the company saw my new information request. Then again, the letter in the package from us (under Hello Kitty) is the new one (I can only see how we signed it but we signed it differently this time) and that was sent in the same email. I am keeping my fingers crossed that perhaps next week I'll hear more but I would think that any information gathered was done so already and would have been included. Oh well.

The care package we sent had standard content (the Hello Kitty toy, blanket, camera, candy, and pajamas) but I did add in a book, hairclips, and an outfit and Price was near me when I ordered and insisted on the caterpillar. He enjoyed helping me decide what to include.

We are on day 65 of the wait. The last group in our agency waited 73 day for LOA with the two groups before them waiting 78 and 70. We are definitely getting close!
