Finally good news!

For all of you who are now totally confused, I will fill you in. I know for most of you the story ended when we lost our referral. Well to make a long story short. Deana one of the missionaries we are working with in Taiwan, had to take her child to the doctor when they became sick. It just happen that Hsin-Yu " Braeley" was there too. {This is God!}Same day, same time, same doctor! Deana went to talk to the foster mom and found out the old social worker was now off Braeley's case and she had a new one and this one had already got a court date to get her case going. So being the wonderful person Deana is she called and got Hsin Yu's referral back for us! To finish this long story the court date came and Hsin-Yu's parents who have never seen her, rights were not terminated!! For to many reasons to go into. Soooooooo it looked like we had lost her referral again. Then at the 12th hour and much praying to the wonderful God we serve, we got an email from Deana that Hsin-Yu's social work had sent her information to an official who then stepped in and wrote a letter giving her orphan status. So now we are waiting for permission to go get her. It will probably be after the first of the year! I know Deana doesn't think we will be there by her birthday in Feb. and I am trying to stay realistic but we serve such a big God who had orchestrated this path since the day we felt His call on our hearts again to change the life of one more child. Sooooooo please pray a miracle takes place and we can be with Braeley Hanna by her 2nd birthday! As many of you know we received her referral the week after Christmas last year and watched her turn 1 from far away so I am praying we won't loose another birthday. Also since Braeley has been with the same foster mom since she got her from the hospital after her mother took off and left her, please be praying for them both as our gotcha day draws close! Pray God gives them both a supernatural peace on that day! We will be putting our pictures and Video on here as we get to know our new daughter in these last weeks before we go get her. I am hoping we will also be able to post our Skype sessions on here, I will try.
