A thought for my baby

Hi, little J!

Today you're 9 months old and I'm really sad. I would like to be

there with you to celebrate. Let's hope for your 10 months...

And we're also worried for the landslides that occurred in the last days in Seoul.

I hope you're ok.

I missy you.

Mum

Sorry, this will be in Italian!

Questo post è per ricordarmi sempre della lettera che oggi ho scritto alla mia piccola.
E' per una buona causa, il progetto Diecilune che finanzia una scuola in Camerun.

Ciao piccola mia.
Questa è una lettera speciale perchè tu vivi all’altro capo del mondo, in questo momento sei con una famiglia affidataria e aspetti che la tua mamma e il tuo papà vengano a prenderti insieme al tuo fratellino. Magari stai tenendo in mano la nostra foto con le tue manine e pensi “Ma di chi sono queste tre facce buffe così diverse dalla mie? Mi dicono “umma” e “appa” ma sono strani...” Eppure siamo noi, tesoro, la tua famiglia. Ti troverai con un visino diverso, un colore della pelle differente ma sarai a casa. Non scordartelo mai. Non sarai uscita dalla mia pancia come tuo fratello ma sei stata un’idea nel mio cuore per tanto tempo, finchè non hai avuto un nome e un volto. Ora sappiamo chi sei e non vediamo l’ora di venirti a prendere. Ti vogliamo un bene immenso. Per il momento gioca, divertiti, cresci... Mamma, papà e fratellino arrivano presto.
Un bacino sulle tue guancine paffute.
La tua mamma

E chissà che un giorno questa letterina non sia pubblicata sul sito o addirittura sul libro...

Done!

The documents are ready and maybe already flying to Korea.
The care package is also on his way to our little girl.
Now we are the last ones that have to fly, I hope soon!!!

I wanted to share something cute. I was writing a story about
a little kitty because the psychologist said that we had to write a
tale about our girl's life before adoption.
I put a picture of Charmmy Kitty in the file and I discovered that
this character shares the birthday with our little J.! The 31st
of October (our little Halloween baby...)

Care package

Today we made our first shopping for the care package!
We were so happy to choose something for our little girl...
Here are the first two toys (from Ikea):
a funny book about circus

a golden retriever peluche, very very soft:

I hope she'll be happy playing with them!

How could I resist?

Going to my first pink shopping was a real pleasure...
I never got something pink before because we have a boy
so "unluckily" I'll have to buy more and more...
BTW Saturday I'll have a shopping date with my best friend
that also will be the Godmother for this little girl.
After the last great news it will
be even better going out together!!

Thinking PINK!

We've been matched to a little GIRL!!
Thursday we'll know more. For the moment we have to wait!
Today I was at school working when my mobile rang: it was my husband
that got the call from the Agency. From that moment I keep working
but it was very difficult to think at what I had to do!!
We're really happy!!

Korean Party

Today we had a party at our Agency with all the adopting
families and three important people from the Korean
Agency.
I wanted to do something special so I baked a special cake
depicting the Korean flag!


Here it is:

The white is icing while the red and blue are made
with strawberries and cranberries jam. The i-ching
are dark thanks to the coffee's powder.

By the way we hope that this party will bring soon
more referrals, the Agency was very hopeful!!
