When we were adopting Chloe I joined a Yahoo Group with the same DTC date as ours - so of course, I have joined one this time as well - it is great to have people to chat with while you wait. I still keep in touch many with from Chloe's adoption. SO - in our new DTC Group, they have started a Secret Pal gift exchange - we got our first gift - with the theme of BEDTIME!!
We loved both of the gifts - they were so clever but have to say - we were so impressed with the "Double Happiness" night light - it is beautiful!! Chloe wanted it plugged right in!! The bummer - it's a secret pal - I can't even ask where they found it!! Thank you, Secret Pal

How fun! It's always great to participate in things and join groups during the long wait! What great gifts! The nightlight is very clever! :)
How cool....I can't wait to start with my group as well! I saw the SP blog....it's very cute! ;)
Oh..I miss this part...we did it with our China adoption too but with Vietnam there are no DTC groups..oh, well..I will have fun through you!
What fun!!!! Remember you are also makeing someone wonder who sent them cool stuff to.
When do you let the others know who you are?
i never thought about joining a dtc group ... how much fun you will have ... i just love gift exchanges ... perhaps we could have the girls draw names at the reunion for the next year.
Hey guys,
Just stopped by to say
hello! Your gifts from
your secret pal look
very nice. Hope everyone
is feeling fine.

Gwen - GREAT idea - wouldn't that be fun?!?!? I love surprises like that too.
Mr. Brian - I think we find out in a year - we exchange for a year and then reveal ourselves - it's helping us pass time.
Hey this is a really cool idea. So many different adapatations you could do!! You guys do such fun stuff. Is your secret pal from a different part of the country?
Most of the secret pals are from the U.S. - somewhere!!! There are a few from Canada.
I really like the night light-how creative! You have a great secret pal!
I found out this morning that our agency did receive our dossier. I am waiting until they let me know that all is well before I join a DTC group. The secret pal thing looks like so much fun.
Great gifts...I am always kind-of envious when I see all the Secret Pal action going on. (since I didn't even OWN a computer when we were adopting Lily, as you well know).
If we adopt again I am definitely gettin' in on all the fun!
Little _____ will love all her goodies. (have we decided on a name yet?)
Love that night light!!
