Christmas Time

As we draw closer to Christmas I feel such an ache to know our Braeley will miss yet another Christmas. I remember telling Alana last year as we talked about how much we wanted our baby home that she would be home by this Christmas. Who would of though we would still be in the process a year later! Pray for us as we enter the Christmas season and that piece of the puzzle is still missing. Pray we see Gods peace and are filled with his joy during this season. I made this video last year and I guess this is the song I will be singing this year too!

Here we go!

We got some of the paperwork yesterday and the rest will be coming in the next few days. We are going to really try to get it all back out quickly as in my heart I am still trying to get to Braeley by her birthday. We did find out we will have to update the home study so pray they do it fast and not take forever. Last night I got loads of new information on who she is. Her name means canoe but the new thing in Taiwan is not to worry about the meaning of the name just how many strokes in the name as they believe some numbers are Lucky. So she was probably named for the number of strokes in the name so she would have good luck. She is part of the tribe called Amei and they live in the mountains. She does have some asthma issues. I will be reading up on them. We are so grateful to God as we are finally reaching the end of our journey! We have a Christmas package ready to send off to Braeley. Alana has so much fun getting it ready. We will now start doing a DVD of our family for her to go in the package. Please continue to pray for us. Pray God puts wings on this package of papers and they get back and into the right hands fast so we can get a court date!
