Definitely bring lots of pictures. With our older children we were able to send a booklet we made of bright colored sheets of construction paper with lots of pictures on it from us and our home. We then had the sheets laminated. When we picked up our son he still had one page left that he cariied on him. They lived in a hogar and the older children would take stuff. Still the children recognized us. Even with our much younger adopted children that came home just days before 7 months, one of them recognized us. Her foster mother had placed a small picture album with our pictures in front of the baby when she was propped up to eat. Also take home as many and as much of clothes and toys that your child had and as you can cary and the foster mother is willing to give. Do not wash any of it. Can't wait to hear more good news about your son coming home. Anna
