Shipped
Last night Marc and I went to the main post office in our city to mail a 12.6lb package to Dylan. I was very jealous of the clothes & toys in that box. They were going to touch my son before us. When you send clothing down, it's usually with the understanding that you won't be getting it back. The foster parents keep them for their future foster children. It was with that in mind that we bought a really adorable Eagle's onsie. We are just hoping her next foster son's parents are Cowboy's fans (hehehehe). We also sent down some toys, 6 disposable cameras, and a gift for the foster mother. For those of you who are adopting from Guatemala, Global Express Mail through the post office was $64 for 12.6lbs and they should have it in 3-5 days. Dylan could be wearing his outfits by this weekend! Plus, it's traceable so I can watch to make sure it gets down there ok.
Still waiting on preapproval and our newest update.
Oh, please stop by Barb's and give her some lovin. The fucking lab misplaced her DNA results. I'm sure they will find them but they are giving her some major stress.

For some reason.. this post, and the idea of your sweet son getting a gift from you made me cry cry cry. I'm such a sap. :)
ReplyDeleteMay he wear them well and be in your arms with new clothes soon.
ReplyDeleteOh how sweet...this is exciting and it was so thoughtful for you to send a gift to the foster mom.

That is great and very thoughtful! (wow, $64?)
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! Closer and closer!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry he can't be in your arms right now but I hope he'll be in them soon.
ReplyDeleteOh how cool! Maybe you will get pictures of him in the clothes.
ReplyDeleteAnd you sent disposable cameras? That will be amazing when you get them developed. WOO HOO!
Hey Julie! Lovely to (sort of) meet you. I can't imagine what a crazy mix of emotions you must be going through. May everything go AMAZINGLY WELL and may sweet Dylan come home to you soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the luvin.... Thank goodness the missing DNA samples have been recovered and we should have the results by the end of next week!
ReplyDeleteYou'll be with Dylan soon.....with lots more clothes and gifts! :)
Julie,
ReplyDeleteEncouraging news....you have the same adoption attorney that I have (rather, HAD!)....remember me?
Anyhoo, don't worry about the stuff you send down to GC. Odds are that it will ALL come back to you and then some. I got every single thing back when I picked up my daughter, except for a couple of bibs I never missed. And it was a LOT of stuff because I had gone there in person, visited, and taken a huge bunch of new clothes, toys, bottles, etc....it was plenty. Got it all back. This attorney is no-nonsense and very insistent with the foster mothers. Bet me you'll see that stuff again, or at least a large portion of it.
The disposable cameras? PERFECT....they will use them and you will get them back. Mine were returned to me diligently, still in the same Kodak wrapper and ziploc baggie that I had sent them in, only they'd been used up and ready to develop. PRICELESS PICTURES!! I can't tell you how much they mean to me.
Oh well, I just hopped in to say HI and see how you were doing. Happy Birthday, too!!!

PS...email me any time...always glad to help!
