By adopting a child and helping them reach their potential, they help us
reach ours. An adopted child is not an unwanted child; to the contrary.
They are a child who was searched for, prayed for, cried for, begged
for; received by arms that ached, making empty hearts full. Love is meant to be shared." - Author unknown

A Quick Update and More Pics!

Our translated documents have been sent to the TECO office in Chicago. They arrived Thursday 11/12 first thing in the morning. So now I wait til they come back, then I rush to FEDEX them off to Taiwan. Once they arrive there, the next step is......our Court date! I can't believe that we may be going to get Jake in just a few weeks. My prayer is to be there near Christmas, but that is IF everything works perfectly. So, after the first of the year is ok, too. lol

He is doing great! Jake is up to 8.8 lbs, though still in preemie clothes. He is rolling over and loves to cuddle a blanket. Heavens...not another blankie kid! Jake has been using a pacifier but Jenna (his primary caregiver) told us that she saw him suck his thumb the other day. Like mother - like son. The new pics really seem to show off his personality.
