Let's Go to Taiwan!

I'll cut to the chase: WE RECEIVED OUR TRAVEL DATE!!!

We'll finally get to hold our little baby in our arms on Monday, March 3rd.

The good news came via email this evening from Mandi, the FFC coordinator who assists families waiting to travel. Two other families, Mel's and one other (if you're out there in cyberspace, please email me) will be picking up their children from St. Lucy's on the same day.


The dates work out well in that my parents will get to travel with us. My dad and mom will say goodbye to their medical practice of 35+ years on Friday, then hop on a plane to meet us in Taiwan the day after. How's that for dedication?

The timing is also great in that while Craig's parents will be in town to take care of Andrew, they'll be able to celebrate their other grandson, Isaac's, birthday in person. This is something they've never been able to do living 12 states away.

There's so much to do from here on. We've got a to-do list a mile long. Still, with our precious baby so close in sight now, we count it all joy.

Thank you so much, God.

How cool is that? It doesn't happen often that you get to have a travel buddy in a Taiwan adoption. :)
