Best Email Ever!

Today I woke up to the Best Email Ever. My agency tends to send me emails in the middle of the night. Maybe it's the Taiwan time change, maybe my case worker is a night owl. Funny though, one time I even asked her where she was in the world because the emails were coming through at 2am, 3am Eastern Time. She's in California. Night Owl.

Anyway......Best Email Ever....... We got her! She is ours!!!!!!! We have our AIT (like the Embassy- if the US recognized Taiwan as a country - which they don't- to get her VISA) appointment on November 19th, So back up a day , we pick her up on November 18th, back up another day, we have Interactive meeting (???) on November 17th. I guess we take her to a park with a social worker (but we don't get to keep her that night).

Everyone is excited here, we are so thrilled and honored that God chose our family for her. Thank you everyone for your prayers and support these past months of agonizing waiting. We are in the home stretch, Mile 24 of our 26 mile marathon. (I believe that Mile 25 will be getting on the plane and the Mile 26 will be from picking her up to landing in America!)
