We began our journey at the beginning of this last June when we decided to add to our family of four.  Kate (14) and Stephen (10) have been extremely excited to have a new little brother to play with (and spoil)!  

After all of the extensive paperwork was turned in and our homestudy was completed, we finally got on 'The List' at "Journeys of the Heart" adoption agency at the beginning of August.  

On September 20th we got a call from Tien at 'Journeys' saying that we had been matched with a 16 month old boy from Taiwan named Pin-Hao.  We checked out Tien's email message to see the three pictures of this adorable little boy!

Now that we have seen pictures of this precious child and are longing to hold him, we begin the process of waiting for the court process in Taiwan to be completed, which can take 4-7 months.  At that time we will travel to Taiwan to bring our sweet boy home.

Until then we will receive updates with photos each month, which we will post to this blog for others to enjoy along with us.

He's adorable! how old is he? He just has such a cute face-you want to just pick him up and give him kisses and make him laugh! :)

Sorry you have to wait so long for your hearing date. These days, time flies by fast-you'll be there before you know it!
