Birthday Cake Delivery

I just ordered from a wonderful service, called Blessed Kids, that will deliver a birthday cake to a child in an orphanage. They do other care packages also. They include a card, a panda bear, and a letter to the Orphanage Director and Nannies. It's a standard letter, and they will change specific words, listed in ALL CAPS below. It reads a bit like a Publisher's Clearing House letter:

Dear Director and Nannies,

WE ARE eagerly looking forward to adopting AI QIANG. HIS birth date is SEPTEMBER 22, 2006.
WE feel honored that WE will be parents of this wonderful little BOY soon. Thank you for
all the love and care you have given HIM.

If our child is in foster care, we would greatly appreciate it if you could pass the package and
cake to the foster family.

WE HOPE YOU AND AI QIANG ENJOY THIS BIRTHDAY CAKE AND THE PHOTOS WE HAVE SENT PREVIOUSLY.

WE deeply appreciate the time and effort you and your staff devote to helping these precious
children have a good place to live and grow.


PLEASE GIVE THE TEDDY BEAR TO AI QIANG SO WHEN WE COME TO ADOPT
HIM, HE HAS SOMETHING FAMILIAR TO PLAY WITH. PLEASE BRING THE TEDDY BEAR AT ADOPTION TIME.

Thank you for all you have done for AI QIANG. WE will forever be grateful. WE look forward to
traveling to China to bring AI QIANG home as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

MOM AND DAD - JOLIE BAILEY AND SCOTT SUSTEK
AND 3 BIG SISTERS.
