Welcome...

Matt, and I have been thinking about adoption for a long time. We have one wonderful little girl named Maggie who is 5 years old and starting kindergarten in August. This is sure to be harder on mom and dad then on little Maggie. She can't wait to go! She even cut all of her own hair off for the occasion. After much medication mom is fine - although I am weeping over her custom made bow collection. I know... "someday you'll laugh" ... not yet...:)

After completing all of the paperwork for China, we decided to change programs and adopt from Taiwan. We are very happy about the decision. The wait for a referral is fairly excruciating and much longer than what we were originally told to expect -- but MUCH shorter than China's wait.

So, welcome to our blog. We think this is a good way to keep everyone up to date about what is going on. We feel very blessed and appreciative of all of you that have listened to us throughout this process, are supporting us going forward and have been such great friends and family.
