Let the count down begin!

We leave for Taiwan in NINE days!!!
I am feeling it more and more each day. I am trying to not stress over the small stuff, but I also am having moments where I feel like I can't breathe. I am just so nervous that I will forget something and they will tell me I can't have my baby girl!!! At the same time that I am feeling the stress of it all, I am overwhelmed with what is happening in Taiwan right now. I know that Maya's birth family is saying their goodbyes in the next few days and that breaks my heart for them and for her. I am so looking forward (yet still a little nervous) to meeting them. I hope that I can reassure them and give them the comfort they need.

NINE more days!!!! I can't believe this is really happening!

I know just what you're feeling. The intensity just builds for these last days....It is such an amazing journey. Try to remind yourself to stop and really feel what is happening, it is so easy to be caught up in the details (there are SO many details ;-).

You are in my thoughts!

Hey Jan and David, all our prayers and best wishes go with you on your journey to and from Taiwan. Remember, you can all take benadryl for the flight home. Sleep does wonders.
Love, Cindy & family

Wow, okay so it's like 5 days now(I just got my computer back, so I'm a bit behind). I can't believe you are on the cusp of getting her. congrats honey. Try to breathe and just be honest when you meet her birthfamily. They will be able to sense sincerity. Are you going to post from Taiwan?
