Care package & Provisional Approval Notice

"Provisional Approval Notice" is most recent document we've received in regards to our I-800.  The document's title is I-797, Notice of Action.  Adam and I are now in the process of applying for our own visas for our trip to China, too.  Things are moving along!  :)

We're also preparing a care package to send to M in her orphanage in the near future (hopefully by the end of the week).  We were advised to keep the package small and light, and only include a couple of special things.  It was also suggested to have duplicates of the items when we travel, in the case that she actually has become attached to them (or one of them) and they are somehow left behind in the orphanage, which can happen.  They must also be marked with her full name in Chinese characters.

We chose a small doll/blanket (x2) and I am in the process of embroidering her name (in characters!) on the edge of the blanket part.  We also created a small photo album (x2) of our immediate family with family names (also in characters), so she can perhaps have at least seen pictures of us before we arrive.  It has been fun to put these things together for her!  (The front cover of the book has M's name and photo on it, so I opened it to the first inside page for this pic.)
