WE LEAVE TOMORROW!!!!!

Praise the Lord...the time is almost here! We leave tomorrow for Chicago and then the next morning for Taiwan!!! Anna emailed last night saying the final paper came from court!!! WOO-HOO!!! That means, that as far as Taiwan in concerned, Alea is officially ours. When we get into Taipai (7:30 a.m. Indiana time on Wednesday), we will meet Alea at the airport and then stay overnight in a hotel. The next morning we will go to the AIT office and have our interview. We will then go to the orphanage and stay until after Christmas when we can go and pick up the visa and passport. Everything is coming together really well.

We had a HUGE blessing given to us today--members of our church and community gave us money to help with our adoption expenses. We also had a family member give us a large donation as well. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for all you have done to help bring Baby Alea home. Thank you doesn't seem big enough of a word to show our gratitude to each of you who have prayed and helped us bring our sweet angel home! God bless each of you!
