ReplyDeleteI just read your blog for the first time and you are almost ready to pick up your beautiful daughter. I wish for you a wonderful trip. I know you must be so excited. I would be. You have had such a wonderful experience with your agency. When you have a spare moment, I wonder if you could email me and let me know who you used. My family of 3 is very similar to yours. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteI so love to read your website, it's under my "favorites". Very touching. Thanks again for sharing this saga. I cannot wait to hear how about your trip to pick your daughter up goes. Joel and I are hoping to adopt from Taiwan too. Our home study is finally completed, and in the process of being signed and notarized. Take care and God bless.
