Hi Amy we did leave a little bear. We left it for the orphanage when we brought her home.

I know of some who have taken blanket too. I do not know if you have animals..this is kind of off topic here...but it was a good idea to take a little washcloth or blanket and put the child's scent on it and bring it home for the animals to get used to. I thought it was a good idea.

Another off topic idea is to take a disposable camera with you to leave at the orphanage so they can take pics while you are gone waiting for a court date. I thought that was a great idea too.
