December 7, 2011 - Recommendations from the Empsons and our First Baby Stuff Purchase


So a few days ago we sent an email to Bev Skiles just introducing us and we were looking forward to hearing from them soon and we are praying for their ministry over there and the work they are doing.  We also mentioned we were friends with Dave and Sherree Empson and that’s how we came upon their organization.  She emailed me back today and talked about how Dave gave us a “glowing” recommendation and she knew God would bless our journey!!!  We were so worried that we would get lost in the busy-ness of everything going on over there and we would be over looked or they wouldn’t really know us --- but it’s such a relief that she knows who we are!! We know it sounds silly, but I’m assuming they talk to so many people every day about adoptions and it as nice to hear her comments back to us! 
And……..we gave in and finally bought our first “baby stuff”!! We know we have not even been put on the waiting list and we are probably jumping the gun on this one, but today we don’t care and have decided at least for today to enjoy where we are in this process J  We bought a “baby wrap” off the internet and only had to pay the shipping on it!!  Mandee Shivers mentioned it on facebook that they were giving away free wraps – so I had to do it, right?!  THOGL also mentioned that people usually bring those to Taiwan when they come because it brings forth a good “bonding” experience for the child when meeting their parents for the first time!  We also bought a carseat canopy for the carseat….someday.  It was also on sale and I only paid for the shipping on it.  It’s super cute and its brown, teal, and red.  Its brown on the inside so it could be for a boy or girl, but I am hoping it’s a girl at this moment :)  Otherwise, I might be giving that as a baby shower gift someday if we end up with a boy!!
