Our final paperwork came back from the TECO office in Chicago today!! That is awesome news because this is our last big strain of paperwork. I rushed them to the FedEx store to "overnight" ship them to Taiwan!! We will hopefully know something within a month and get our first travel date to meet Grayson and start the court procedures :)
On a different note: We are getting quite emotionally involved at this point and I find myself day-dreaming about the day we will get the call to come to Taiwan. I am dreaming about the day we will walk off the plane with our family to greet us holding OUR CHILD! As my mind wonders at different moments throughout the day, I find tears rolling down my face in the pure joy we have right now. Even though we have not met Grayson yet, we can feel him in our hearts. Usually as soon as I come back to reality - I have to turn my mind off of him or else I will not stop crying happy tears!
We have been overwhelmed at the support of our family and friends and the are over-flowing with joy every time a friend says, "we prayed for Grayson tonight" or "we are so happy for you guys". Just those little words of encouragement and kindness have gotten us through some of the hardest days. Don't get me wrong - God has been leading us, but that does not mean its been an easy road to get where we are. So THANK YOU dear friends and family that have uplifted us and continue to pray for Grayson and our families. We are very blessed.
It's funny how we see things in a different light now. Little comments people make or ask if we have children --- its opened up a whole new world we have just never experienced before. It's weird how things can change so much in just a month. Our entire world really. We have been just soaking it in and enjoying every little part of it as we know someday we will look back and be able to tell Grayson how we chose him, but he was "chosen" for us too :)
