Today
it was official!!! We have made the decision to adopt from Taiwan. After emailing back and forth with Leanne
Emmons (who also adopted from Taiwan), she was able to answer a lot of our
questions. Our biggest question was the
cost of international adoption. After
finding out it would be around $11, 000
our minds were set. It’s been so
incredible to see where God is leading us.
I feel such peace about it, which is not like me seeming how I worry
over everything. But, I know in God’s
timing we will find and bring home “our child”.
I
was so excited when I read the email I started crying tears of joy! I just couldn’t believe how little the cost
was compared to other international adoptions.
It seemed a reality at that point……and a relief. I ran and told Matt and we hugged, kissed, and
cried. I then made him come outside with
me so I could run around our driveway while screaming and dancing :) He just stood on the porch and laughed at
me. Which was ok with me. So it’s now 11:00pm and I just realized I
didn’t eat supper tonight. I have been
on the phone with Mom, Staci, Steph, and Kellie tonight. After talking with them all, we needed to get
our adoption application done and emailed in.
Which we did. We are so excited
every time we open my email account and can’t wait to get emails back and learn
so much every day. It really is amazing
everything that has worked out so far and I can’t wait to bring a little one
home. To know there is a child at the end of this journey that will call us mommy
and daddy – I can only describe the feeling as overflowing joy tonight.
