After months of waiting we finally received the call that we've been waiting for this afternoon. We can travel to Taiwan and pick up our daughter the 2nd week of February! We will most likely leave from Knoxville on Wednesday, February 3rd and we will finally hold our daughter in our arms for the first time on Monday morning, February 8th. We're hoping to be home the following weekend... hopefully on Saturday morning.
We are absolutely overjoyed! It's been more than 2 years since we began this journey and now it's finally coming to an end. I'll be honest... I'm ready for this journey to be over so a new one can begin! The best is most certainly yet to come.
We'll have more updates later but for now we have a to-do list a mile long... so much to do before we leave! Plane tickets to buy, hotel rooms to book, a very pink room to put the finishing touches on, and a whole bunch of paperwork to get in order!
Thank you to everyone who has commented on this blog... all of the encouraging words have meant a lot to us. It's been really comforting to know that we haven't been waiting alone.
