Welcome to the newest member of the Fleck family! We got a call at 1 a.m. this morning from Taiwan saying they had a baby girl for us! She was born on May 29, 2006 at 4:15 a.m. She weighed 4 lbs. 4 oz. and was very much loved by her birthmother. Her mother simply was not in well enough health to take care of her. She was given to the Home of God's Love on August 28th and just signed all the necessary papers yesterday. Ted and Bev called us with the great news and no, we didn't get any sleep afterwards!
We called Carmen's mom and Grandma in the middle of the night, but let everyone else sleep until this morning around 8 a.m. when we began making calls!
Right now, we are working on a power of attorney paper that we need to get notarized and faxed back to Taiwan. They will then begin sending us a great deal of paperwork for us to sign, notarize and take to the Secretary of state. We are anticipating being able to travel to bring Alea home sometime between January and March of 2007.
Braylen understands she is getting a sister and is very happy! She carries her little picture around saying, "my sister" and "she's so cute!"
We are so blessed. Thank you, Jesus! Pray for Alea's safety, health and for her to soon be joined into our family officially!

HOORAY!!! Praying for a speedy process this time and that it's God will that you get to travel in January! :)
Alea is one month and one day younger than Simon which I find totally crazy because (if I remember right) Elijah is one year one day older than Braylen!
We could arrange some marriages, here, but we'll hold off (for now).
:) Love you guys!
This mamaw needs some more pictures!! I have lots of bragging to do!!
Love you, Mom
