Our Journey to Claire: February 2010
http://ourjourneytoclaire.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 17, 2010. Our Final Video from Taiwan. Friday, February 12, 2010. Wrapping up and Heading home! I had grand ambitions to put together another video for you guys but it looks like that just isn't going to happen. Time kind of ran out on us and when I was going to work on the video I chose to just sleep instead. I'm not sure I've ever been this tired. not so much physically but emotionally it has been an incredibly draining week. We are ready to come home. Thursday, February 11, 2010.

All we'll say is that we're really glad we were able to meet the birth family and also that we were able to get some pictures and video. We think Claire will be grat...She absol...

Sorry we've slacked off a bit on writing and updates. we have more pictures and videos to share hopefully tomorrow but we've just been so busy and when we haven't been going, we've been absolutely exhausted.

By the time we got back to Taipei, we were exhausted. Travel wi...

Friday, January 15, 2010. What do I say? Claire has two half sisters and this man has custody of one of them. We do not know if he will bring her with him to the meeting but we are hopeful.

We are absolutely overjoyed! The best is most certainly yet to come. Thank you to everyone who has commented on this blog....
