Its hard to believe that 10 months ago we received a picture of a little boy who we were hoping to make a part of our family. Although it has been 2 1/2 years since we have started this process, the last 3 days makes it seem like a blur. After calling our caseworker on Thursday (for the 100th time this month) and finding out she was on vacation till July 6th we figured we wouldn't hear anything anytime soon. However we were surprised to receive an email from her Saturday afternoon. She starting by telling us that she was able to arrange a Skype date for us and Jahsin for July 6th and we were thrilled to be able to see him again. Then she proceeded to tell us that she had good news, we have a a Visa appointment for Aug 6th and we can pick him up from the orphanage on Aug 2nd!!!! After reading it several times I finally told Matt and we both about passed out. Its the moment we have been waiting for and yet not ready for at the same time.
Fast forward to Tuesday July 6th and anxiety has set in!!!!!!!! Scheduling, planning, packing, 4 plane tickets, brothers wedding, etc... the list goes on and on.
As of today we are planning on leaving Pa Wednesday July 28th and flying to Ca. We will then leave from LAX to Taipei Taiwan on the 29th. Arriving in Taipei July 30th. We have our visa appointment Aug 6th and hope to fly back to CA Aug 10th. And make it to my brothers wedding on Aug 14th! Then head for home Aug 18th. Wow when I look at that I realize how crazy the next month is going to be, but a good crazy of course :)
Please continue to keep our family in your prayers as we prepare for this journey. We will post more info as soon as we finalize things and of course photos as soon as we are allowed.
