Items Found with Baby?

I was at the local FCC Kite Festival the other day and one mom mentioned how shocked and disappointed they were to find no note/memento left with their daughter. A dad mentioned that even though their daughter was said to be found wrapped in a specific article of clothing, they weren't shown or given that to keep.
For those of you on this journey...are any of you expecting that your child will be left with a memento or that you will receive it? I got the feeling that most babies are not left with anything (other than a blanket/outfit). At the J*ne L*idke seminar last October, I inferred that things are rarely left with the babies. But she also stated that if you get to go to the orphanage and there is mention of a memento, to ask for it (not that it will necessarily be found in the SWI files). Without denying that a memento would be of great comfort for your child, are you/were you expecting anything?

WE are just starting this wait, but thats a great question. I have heard of only a few with notes or things like that..NO expectations at all
Based on what I have read I was not really expecting anything. I have read on several occasions that when there is a note the director would not let the family have it. Families are told the child can come back and get it when she is an adult? I do plan on sending a camera though and hope to have some pictures.
If we receive anything I will consider it an unexpected treasure. I don't expect to get anything. I will just be happy to have our daughter.
I hope we receive something but not expecting it.
Keep smilin!
Not expecting anything at all.
But it would be truly a gift to find there is something of her past to keep for her...
I am not expecting anything to be left with Tate. It would be a bonus, though.

I hadn't given it too much deep thought but I don't think I'm really expecting anything. If so, it would be a gift.
I'm not "expecting" anything so I won't be disappointed, but a note would be a priceless treasure.
I would definitely ask! I hope we are one of those families who has that opportunity.
I didn't expect anything & there were no reports of anything being left with Mali. She's enough for me! (of course)
nah, not expecting anything - if Ruby is left w/ some memento - WONDERFUL surprise!
