The sale will take place on May 11, 12, & 13.

Donations will be accepted throughout the month of April and can be dropped off at:

Day 20; List Making

We are on day 20 or our approximate 60 day wait for our letter of acceptance.  But I am ready to leave Now!!  Not in 8 or 12 or 14 weeks, NOW!!!  Practically, we have a few more things to work out before we go, like care for the animals, mail, having enough money to pay for the trip.  But emotionally, we want to go NOW! RIGHT NOW.

So, while I wait I am obsessed with list making.  There are lists and post its everywhere of random things I want to remember to bring.  I've been checking other adoption blogs and websites to see what others have brought with them and I am surprised at all the stuff people pack.  Like a steamer trunk of supplies!  Do I really need to bring the entire medicine aisle of Target there with me?  Medications to relieve some adventurous eating seems reasonable, but a suitcase full of remedies?.  I'm pretty sure there is a Walmart in China should I need something special.  I'd prefer to pack lightly since I plan to shop in China!  I'll need the room!

If  you have made the trip, let me know what you brought and what you needed and I'll add it to my list!
