Our social worker will receive it on Monday and will forward it to Michella's orphanage. This will be the first time Michella sees our faces and will hopefully become familiar with us so she will recognize us when we meet her for the first time on September 30th. I also sent her a birthday gift - a book and a knitted toy elephant made by Andrey's cousin, Katya. The elephant slept in our bed over the past week so it would smell like us.
Of course at two years old, Michella will not comprehend the concepts in this letter but this book will be a keepsake for her and I want her to know what we were thinking and feeling during this time.
Thanks to Andrew "Guy" Willms, we have these great professional shots to include. Thanks again for these, Guy! They continue to come in handy!
We were supposed to include photos of Michella's room and play area but it's not ready yet!
This is a letter I wrote months ago and posted on our blog. I want her to read this someday, too. After all, it was written to her, I just didn't know who she was yet.
