Our Adoption Journey: April 2013
http://andadoptionmakesfive.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 9, 2013. Our adoption agency sent us all of the paperwork to prepare for our in-country stay and appointment with AIT (The American Institute in Taiwan). I am telling myself this means we are getting close! I have not met the social workers at New Hope, but already I am impressed by them. They are so thoughtful when sending us updates. When we get an email each month linking to new pictures and videos in our dropbox account, it is like Christmas! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
