You're Invited!

We are having a party, an Adoption Shower to be exact! A dear friend has offered to host the shower at her home here in San Antonio on April 30th from 1pm-3pm.  Instead of bringing gifts for Elizabeth or us, like a traditional shower, we are asking that each person bring a donation for our agency's Care Center and we will take it over on our first trip.  I am so excited about this and to invite you all to help these sweet children and their dutiful nannies at the orphanage.  We have been blessed with so much in this country and have an unique opportunity to help others in need.  I would love to see you all on April 30th.  However...if you are not able to make it or would like to send a donation to us here in TX we will gladly take it with us.  (Please contact me personally and I will give you our information.)
I have listed below, some of the needs that the Care Center currently has.  If you chose to send or bring something to the shower, please keep these things in mind:
1. Our space is limited to 2 totes that will be checked at the airport
2. There are many children at the orphanage of all ages, therefore, toys need to be safe for little ones
3. Multiples of any toys are good, that way every child will receive one (matchbox cars, jelly bracelets, inflatable balls, hairbands, bouncy balls, ect).

Suggested Donations:
  • anti fungal cream for the scalp
  • baby lotion
  • baby shampoo
  • Bandaids
  • Neosporin
  • Children and Infants Tylenol or Motrin
  • Flip Flops for nannies
  • Multivitamin syrup (poly-vi-sol)
  • Pedialyte powder
  • pajamas of all sizes
  • baby clothes
  • toddler clothes (pants and shirts)
  • diaper covers
  • Disposable diapers
  • Disposable drinking cups
  • Clear bottle nipples (small)
  • Sheets for Cribs and Twin Beds
  • Shoes (all sizes-toddler to age 14yrs)
  • Soccer balls (deflated)
  • Board Books and Easy Readers
THANK YOU!  And can't wait to see you at the end of April! :-)

  1. Just found your blog through the IAN yahoo group. What a beautiful idea to have a donation shower. We might just copy that.
