Still waiting!

As of Dec. 6th we are still waiting for 2nd ruling and travel date. No new news! Hopefully soon! We were bless by a group of elderly ladies who got together and sewed pillow cases dresses to send to Braeley's orphanage. 60 of them in all! Now we just have to figure out how to get them there. Hopefully someone will donate the money to pay for the extra pounds.

Alana's 6th birthday

Almost there!

WE GOT FIRST RULING!!!!! YEAH!!! The judge did say tho that Taitung was the slowest county and that they take about 8 weeks to get the paperwork back to her. But as soon as she gets it she will get our visa appointment and we can travel! I know that God can move mountains so I am not giving up on getting Braeley home for Christmas! Alana sat on Santa's lap last year and told him all she wanted was her baby to come home! So that would be the best Christmas present we could give her this year if we could bring her home by Christmas. Or at least spend Christmas in Taiwan as a family! Even a week after we could just wait to open gifts until then. Anyway we have missed 2 Christmases already so please join us in praying her home for Christmas!
God bless and thank you all who have walked this VERY LONG journey with us encouraging us on when the going got hard! We got Braeley's referral at 10 months the week after Christmas 2008 and she will turn 3 in Feb. so it has really been a long hard 2 years.It's hard enough waiting the normal 4 to 6 months after referral to travel.  2 years has been crushing! So many tears, so many long nights crying out to God. Trying to understand why and make sense of all of it but God is faithful to see us through. So hopefully we will be posting soon we have travel!

Moving Foward

Well we finally have a new court date. Nov. 10. Please keep us in your prayers before and on that day! Either Hsin Yu will finally be allowed to have a family or those doors will close for her forever. If the courts allow us to adopt her they say she will be home by Christmas! Best Christmas present ever! We are so ready to have her home! Will post when I have news!!
