HSIN-HUA IS COMING HOME!!!!!!!

We knew it was coming soon...we knew it could happen anyday...but then again, you still kind of think it may never happen.

Well...IT DID!!!

I got back to my office after getting lunch with a co-worker...and the email we have been waiting for over 8 months...well really 3 years for...was in my email inbox.

The email that said OUR FINAL RULING WAS IN!!!
HSIN-HUA is legally and officially OUR daughter!

It is the most amazing feeling in the world to know that our wait to bring her home is almost over.

We have tentative plans to leave between the 23rd and 27th of July!
THAT IS IN 2 WEEKS!!!

Holy Cow but we have a lot of things to get done between now and then.
This weekend we are finishing purchasing the gifts for our trip, we are installing the car seats in the cars, we are hanging blinds in Hsin-Hua's room and lowering her crib so she can't climb out!!!!

YIPEE!!!
HSIN-HUA IS COMING HOME!!!

P.S. Hey, in case the carseats give you trouble, contact your police headquarters and they can install those seats lickety-split and with perfection! (yep, we used 'em for ours!) AND yes, lower that crib, cuz T-man already tried to make a break for it and was barely foiled....our's is now lowered as far as it goes!! lol
