Our dossier is on its way to Taiwan...it left Washington today! The dossier is all the legal paperwork we have been getting together over the last month. It will be submitted to the Taiwanese court by St. Lucy's on our behalf to facilitate the adoption. It should be in Taiwan in a few days and submitted to the court hopefully by the end of the month. I think we are probably looking at a September/October travel date if the paperwork is submitted in a timely manner. Whew! Now comes the hard part of waiting for updates from Taiwan. It seems like a piece of cake compared to the interminable time we spent waiting for the referral. The difficult part is knowing that we are now in the hands of the courts...kind of scary.
Our 6 year anniversary is coming up at the end of the month and I can't think of a better gift than the one Sydney is already bringing to us. We have been trying to start our family for 5 years and the fact that Sydney is the start of it is the most wonderful thing that could happen to us. Even though she doesn't know any different, it kills us to know she is living in an orphanage. No matter how much love and care she may get there...it's still a group home. Our consolation is in knowing that she is coming home very soon to people who can't wait to meet her and shower her with love and the blessings of family. Please pray for us that everything will go smoothly and Sydney is able to come home as soon as possible.

Quick courts...quick homecoming...we want Sydney home soon! Our thoughts and prayers are with you. In the meantime, St. Lucy's is the best of the best...she is in the hands of angels. Katie
