Hurricane Wilma

Well, we are happy to report we got no damage from hurricane Wilma! Thank you Lord! We were not able to send our paperwork out Monday due to the hurricane but I did get it all off today! YEAH!!!! It is on it's way and I don't have to worry with it anymore! What a great feeling!!! Our agency said, when they receive the dossier, they will send it out the very next day to Taiwan. Since we are adopting Ling-Wei through Commonwealth and Chia-Ho independently, we had to get a lot of duplicates for the paperwork and we also had to send the papers in different directions. Chia-Ho's went directly to Cathwel. Kind of scary but the girls and I prayed over them before handing them over so we feel very confident that God will guide them safely and into the right hands. Now we WAIT AGAIN! When the papers arrive in Taiwan, they will be checked for accuracy and then Cathwel will begin the court process. The next step for us is to hear that we have a court date. Sometimes you won't even know that you have a court date until the hearing has already taken place. When we hear that we have a court date, the next step will be for the judge to render a first decree. We should have a good idea of our travel dates around the same time that the 1st Decree is rendered. We are on the homestretch now! Please continue to keep our family in your prayers as we start preparing our house for two more precious children. The addition to our house should be started very soon!!!
