October is here!!

My grandmother turned 95!!! Still living independently!

Andrew's 1st pair of glasses. He is very proud. "I look smart"!

Andrew attended his two best friend's soccer game (Jacob and Ethan).

As each month ends, we are one month closer to picking up Brooke. It has been 54 days since referral. Our first court hearing is tomorrow (Taiwan time) tonight our time. We are really hoping to have our next court hearing in 4-6 weeks. There has only been one boy referral for September. Hopefully October will be another big referral month like August!!!!

My TN JOH friends Chuck and Amy are in Taiwan right now!!! They were able to pick up their son yesterday and he is doing great. Chuck and Amy have waited since January to travel to Taiwan!!! The average court process takes 4-6 months. Their process took almost 9 months. Follow their story (see JOH blogs Chuck and Amy).

Another JOH friend, Kristy (AL) finally made the wait list September 18th after many, many, many delays on her home study!!!! She should have her referral of a baby girl in the next 12 months.
