Final Ruling!!!

For the last week or so, I have been checking my email constantly at work, sometimes 10-20 times a day, waiting for news of my final ruling. Following this pattern, I did the same today, but stopped checking after about noon, because I knew it was 3:00 am in Taiwan and that if I hadn't gotten any news of a final ruling by then, I wouldn't be getting the news today.

After volleyball practice, I got home and checked my phone messages. The first one was from the adoption agency asking me if I had gotten the email about my final ruling and the AIT (American Institute in Taiwan; like an embassy where you go to get a visa to come to the U.S.) appointment scheduled for November 14th! The agency said that their server hasn't been working correctly and that some people are having problems with their email because of it.

Needless to say, I am VERY excited and can hardly contain myself!!! I tried to call the airline to make reservations, but it was after business hours, so I will have to call back tomorrow.

Happy, happy day! It is a relief to know that Holly is legally mine now and all I have to do is go and get her! God really does answer prayers.

Kerry...so happy to hear this wonderful news. When I arrived I hunted down your judge and told him to hurry up with that final ruling because Holly was just too darn cute to be here without you. Have fun planning your trip and can't wait to see Holly in your arms forever. Kristie
