Rayanna's Picture...

An adoption friend of mine I know from the computer traveled to Taiwan last week to pick up her daughter Lily from Chung-Yi orphange. Lily and Rayanna are very good friends and we hope to keep the two of them in touch here in the United States. Kaye thank you so much for taking the time to tell our daughter we love her and for taking pictures for us. You can only imagine how much that means to us at this time as we wait . She really is beautiful and we cannot wait till the day we will travel to Taiwan to bring her home.

Rayanna is the second one from the left with the pink shirt and red shorts. Her friend Lily is the one dressed in black. Congratulations Lily! You are going home with your forever family!

We Had Another Web Chat!!!....

We had another Web Chat with Rayanna last night. It went very well. She was not as shy this time and was smiling and laughing alot more. She still has many of the same fears and we talked about them all again. She finally did ask what her american name would be and who picks it. I told her that Mommy and Daddy picked her name. We told her we would name her Rayanna and she liked it very much. She wanted to know how to spell it and wrote it down so she wouldn't forget. That is a big relief, I'm so happy she likes her name.

We still have not heard any news and my agency coordianator is in Taiwan right now, hopefully she will hear something soon.

Love,

Jaclyn

Fun With Friends....

Yesterday we had a great day with our adoption friends at Downtown Disney. Patty and Erick adopted Jenna from Taiwan also. They came home about two months after we came home with Rebecka. All the kids had great fun together and we always enjoy the time we are able to see each other.

Rayanna's Room....

Here are some pictures of Rayanna's room, ready and waiting for her....

Is It Lost????

I think I know what must have happened with our case. My theory is maybe the cleaning lady in the Judges office threw it away. Maybe the Judge spilled tea all over it. Maybe the window was open and it blew under the bookcase. Maybe the Judge took it home to look over and the dog ate it. Maybe someone filed it in the "never look at again" drawer. Maybe his kid made an airplane out of it and threw it out the window. Maybe the judge retired and noone took over his cases. Maybe the court house burned down.


If anyone has any other theories I'd love to hear them. Something must have happened because this is getting ridiculous now. It has been 3 months since we entered the courts and I cannot get an answer from anyone. I'm tired of the waiting game. wait wait wait...
