Included in the package.....
A Bears outfit, A Striped Jersey type outfit, 2 pairs of sockies, a plush Zebra rattle, an apple chew toy, Ave*no Baby Lotion, and a recordable Dr. Seu*s card. I sent my voice this time; recording a portion of One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish... My hopes are that if he listens to the card enough, when I read this book (one Gracie has just started to love) at home he will recognize it.
We were also lucky enough to have a dear friend translate a letter for us. So, this time the package includes a longer letter to the foster family, along with some Jelly Beans and Tea packets.
As with the last package, I hope this package finds our little Jackson happy and well and brings some smiles to his face.
As for any other adoption update, I really really really wish we had more to share but, at this point we don't. Things seem to be inching along right now. Every day I think, this is the day we are going to get some pictures or an update......anything. But, nothing up to this point. It's crazy to think Jackson is going to be 10 months old shortly and we know very little about him. :(
We know things at our agencies on both sides of the Ocean are very busy. So, we're trying to be patient and keep ourselves busy while we wait and wait.
We are also still waiting for our I-600 approval. Again, something that is completely out of our control. This is a long, exhausting story that I won't get into. But, I'll just say my last conversation ended with the officer that has been assigned to our case telling me...."I do have your file but, I'm swamped and have no idea when I will get a chance to review it. Sorry, I can not give you any information at this time." Frustrating ...but, this is far better than all my last calls. At least I now know our file has been found and we now have been assigned to an officer. But..... more waiting.
praying you're not waiting too much longer! what a cute little care package!
ReplyDeleteUgg..so sorry to hear about the I600 issue. We had that problem and it was so frustrating but it made me less upset about the EP wait because I knew we had the time to get the I600 done. Great care package btw...glad to hear you're starting early to make him into a bears fan!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great care package! I especially love the recordable card. I really hope you get an update soon--it must be so hard to not have a lot of information about Jackson. I also hope your I600 issues get resolved soon. That's just frustrating!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that you are waiting on your I600 approval still! It seems like CIS just drags their feet. :(
ReplyDeleteAs for the care package- ADORABLE! :)
CIS seems to always be a struggle, but at least you know an actual person has your file - that seems to be half the battle. hopefully you'll get your approval shortly and can cross that off your list of things to worry about in the middle of the night.
ReplyDeleteI love your care package. Its wonderful that Jackson will be able to hear your voice and that his foster family knows he has a loving family excited for him to come home.
Oh Jess! I'm sorry that the waiting game is starting to get to you guys. Jackson is so very, very lucky to have you guys and I bet once he is home, he will melt your hearts even more daily. The package you put together is awesome! I hope you get some updates soon, especially pictures and such...AND some news on the other stuff as well. Thinking of you!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're such a good Mommy to Jackson already! I can only imagine how hard this waiting game is! But you are getting closer!! Big hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteKeep hope sweet girl, it is meant to be!! You are such an amazing Mom!! Can't wait to see you sharing your awesome Mommy love with him. Love you!
