Our biggest news of 2006 is that our family of six will soon become a family of seven! We started adoption proceedings for a sweet baby girl living in Taiwan in November 2005. We received her referral in February and have done all the paperwork and signed all the contracts, so now we just wait...

-to hear that our paperwork made it to Taiwan
-to hear that we have entered tha local Taiwan Family courts
-to hear when we can travel to get her
-to hold her in our arms

We do not know when we'll get to go, but we are really hoping to travel this summer. I think we will learn a lot of patience in the coming months!

Introducing the newest member of our family...
