Wednesday, November 2, 2011. Hurdle: Dossier Being Held While We Scurry For More Paperwork. So I just decided that there is no appropriate image for this update, since syringes and cringing children are nothing to smile about.

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.
