Important Ordering Information

1. When paying by PayPal, please use your own home address as the shipping address. We will get the orphanage or foster family address directly from you.  

2. Please send the Chinese characters for both the name of your child and the orphanage. The characters are needed for accurate identification. Send to Adele at lehall88@yahoo.com. You can find this information in your CCAA acceptance letter or your Pre-Approval letter. You may also fax the characters. Our North American Toll Free Fax Number: 1-866-691-1250.

3. A Letter is strongly recommended if you are sending a package before you receive your child. The letter explains the package to orphanage staff. 

4. Delivery time - Cake and flower gifts arrive 1 to 2 days after we place the order.  Pillow packages arrive in 4 to 7 days.

Disclaimer

We cannot guarantee that orphanage staff will take good photos or return all of the items or answers to your questions when you receive your child. Orphanages are sometimes overwhelmed with managing the adoption process and can forget to bring some items when they meet you.

If you send questions with your package, we can call the orphanage to see if they will return answers to us via email, mail or fax. There is a non-refundable $25 fee for calling the orphanage.  We cannot predict whether they will cooperate with us.

You may include your own items with a care package. For example, you can include a blanket with your own scent by sleeping with it for a few nights. This may ease your child's transition to your care by providing an opportunity to recognize your scent at adoption time.

Familiarize your adopted child with your picture on a pillow. Adoptive parents have told me how photos, toys and blankets they have sent to their adopted children have eased the transition period from the orphanage to a new family. Your adopted child can become familiar with your faces while hugging this soft, inviting pillow

Orphanages love to get cake!  If your adopted child is going to spend a birthday in the orphanage before you arrive, he or she will love to get a birthday cake!  It is culturally appropriate to send a birthday cake any time, even after the birthday date.
