Update

Hi everyone! So sorry for the delay in posts recently. I've had lots of you ask about the blog....thank you so much for reading and keeping up with our journey to bringing Jack Everett home!

There really isn't much news to post. We did receive an update this morning however, but it really didn't tell us much. This is the part of the journey, that I like to describe as "waiting to go into labor!"  Our missionary contact did tell us that we should expect our first decree sometime in mid October.  After this decree, she says it "could be" another 20-25 days before we have a final decree. Once we receive the final decree...Jack Everett is legally and officially our son!  BUT...we will then have to wait to receive our appointment with AIT (American Institute in Taiwan). This could happen soon, or it could take another 3-4 weeks. This appointment date will be our "going into labor date"...we will schedule our travel time around this appointment! 

In the meantime, we continue to get JEs nursery decorated and organized. We had our first shower to celebrate him on September 18 and have another shower this Sunday! It's so fun receiving all the wonderful gifts and seeing the excitement on everyone's face when they see his picture! Since we can't post his pictures on our blog or facebook, we have decided to take a framed picture of him to our showers to show him off! We think he is an absolute doll, and we are sure everyone else would agree :)

I hope to soon have David upload pictures of JEs room and pictures from his showers, so we can share those too! Again, thank you all for being a part of our journey. Please continue to be in prayer for us and with us. We pray that our "guestimated" time of travel happens much sooner than December, but most importantly, that it happens on God's time. Right now, we continue to hold tightly to His hands!

Blessings,
