and ladybugs were the theme for March. My secret buddy (or not so secret…thanks, Wendi!) was on the ball (despite parenting a newborn!), and I got my package today. Look at all these fun ladybug themed things! So cute. For those of you thinking, “what’s up with the ladybugs?” Ladybugs have become a symbol of Chinese adoption. Apparently, not too long ago, as the international adoption program in China was becoming quite large, there was a fall season where the ladybug population took off. This was thought to be a type of “lucky charm” for those who were adopting little ones from China. Often times, waiting families take hope in seeing a ladybug as a reminder that their time will come for their little one to come home too.
