We have PA from the People's Republic of China!!
We received this on 4/23/08 - it was actually approved on 4/14/08.
This means that we have been ok'd to pursue Aric's adoption. Any ok from China is a WIN.
It also means that we can send a Care Package to Aric. This is in the works...
There are different online sites where you can pick out certain items to send to him. They also will translate a letter to him for you. Which is awesome. The one we are going with is www.ladybugsnlove.com
This form of care package is a bit different than what we got to do for Alex. We picked out all the stuff and sent with another family. It is nice to have this option.
Right now we are planning to send pictures of the family - and they will label them for us in Chinese as well, the letter, a Panda bear, some candy and nuts - which is for the other kiddos and nannies, a camera and maybe one more thing!!
It is really hard not to just open up the wallet and send everything they offer. We are afraid that may be a bit overwhelming to do though.
Oh!! We are part of a Yahoo group for Chongqing Parents - this is for parents that have adopted and are currently adopting. It is really neat to be able to see the place where Aric lives. There are a ton of pictures which we have scoured looking to see if they could possibly be Aric. Some are from at least 2 years ago, so sadly I cannot be 100% certain any of them are Aric. There are some real cuties in the pictures though!! Anyway, there is an adoptive Mom that is picking up her child this week and offered to check on Aric. She has said she will send pictures. That would be the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!
Very excited to get to do this!
