I Can't Believe It

Today marks 1 year since we were put on the wait list for Taiwan!

When we were put on the list, we were told the wait for referral would be 4-6 months and it ended up being 10 months!

I can remember how hard those 10 months were to wait, and sometimes I didn't think I could mentally make it through another day (add to that the 18 months we had already waited for China)...but now that we know who Olivia Hsin-Hua is...it feels like those 10 months flew by! I can't believe it was really a year ago we were put on the list! WOW!

Fingers crossed for updates by next week (I am hoping for some smiles this month), and maybe our First Ruling!!!

And now can you believe you're almost toward the finish line? It's just a matter of time and then...!

What a difference a year makes! :)

And it won't be too much longer until she is home with you both! What an amazing year you have ahead of you too!

Hugs,
Lisa

I saw some of the shower pictures Paul posted on facebook. I love, love, love the quilt with Olivia's picture on it. Doesn't sound like it's too much longer : )
