On Wednesday, Dec. 29, we got a very unexpected, but long-awaited email that the judge ruled in our favorl! (If you don't know what we're talking about, seethis post) Our hearts are heavy for what the birth mom must be feeling, but mostly overjoyed that we still get to adopt our kids. If you are a praying person, would you take a moment to pray for her?
So what now?! Now, we wait 10 more days for the final appeal process, and then we get our Final Ruling...finally! We have been told to expect to travel in early March. We have no idea (yet) why we need to wait 2 more months to travel when we would happily pack and prepare for the next 10 days and then fly to Taiwan on day 11! We should have a zoom call with our adoption agency (Holt International) after the New Year and find out more about next steps. But for now, we are just so stinkin' happy to have the appeal overturned. We truly think they are best off coming to live with us, but did not envy the judge the difficult decision he had to make for their futures. It was not easy. We are so thankful to the literal hundred plus people who have been praying for us over this situation. It was hard to wait without knowing the outcome, and continues to be hard to wait to go get them, but we know it will all be worth it when our kids are in our arms!
