Gift Suggestions

As we're packing, we're also trying to purchase meaningful gifts for the birth mother and her family.  We know that there is not a single gift in the world that can truly thank her for her selfless sacrifice, so it is a hard thing to do.  Some ideas that were suggested, were things that I would not have thought of myself in a million years.  Yes, there are the typical gifts of candies, fancy soaps, a locket, that we fully intend to do.  What I wouldn't have thought of was Tylenol.  Just plain, over-the-counter, Tylenol. Apparently the hospital ran out of Children's Tylenol at one point in time this year!  Along with Tylenol, loperamide (anti-diarrheal) and Motrin were suggested.  Feels so strange to say, "thank you for your beautiful child.  Here's a bottle of Motrin!".  Picture frames.  Apparently, they are very hard to come by in the Marshalls.  Kit-kat bars.  Apparently, U.S. candy is a big hit over there!  I had purchased some fancy Sees Candies, after somebody suggested that, but turns out, the other little candies are an even bigger hit!  Just have to find room for everything.  We can bring 4 pieces of checked luggage.  Time to get creative!
