Held By Someone We Know

Amanda and her husband submitted their paperwork about the same time that we did. They got their call in mid June and were able to pick up their son, Zack, on the 11th. Congratulations to them! We're so happy that their journey is winding to an end. (And, of course, just beginning.) And we appreciate that they took the time to snap some photos of Jasper Lu-Yu while they were there. We are in your debt -- and we look forward to reuniting these two playmates in the not-to-distant future!

Per Amanda...

"Oh you two.....He is just precious. He was wakling all around the jointlike he owned it!!! Everybody just loves him and he is beautiful. That little face of his will just melt ya. He was very happy and relaxed. He and Zack are indeed best buds. The staff just kept saying that they were good friends and Zack imitates Lu Yu always. They are the two oldest and were right next to each other in their cribs. In fact, Lu Yu tried to steal a rice cracker from Zack while we were there. Very sweet. They look a lot alike when you see them together. I took as many photos as I could. I may have to send them in two emails because the connection here is a bit slow. The staff at St. Lucy's is very kind and truly care for the babies. They were very sweet to us and Zack and allowed us to stay for 4 & 1/2 hours!! Lu Yu went down for his nap while we were there so I didn't get to spend as long as I would have liked with him. They did mention that your case was moving slowly and that they were trying to speed up your "slow judge". Nice to hear that you have lots of folks working on your behalf... I toldthem that we knew you and they were very pleased to hear that the babies may remain friends. I'll send you more nuts and bolts travel tips after we get home... just wanted to be sure you had the photos right away."

Amanda took pics for me too. I love Amanda. I hope we'll both be going to Taiwan soon and can do the same for whoever is waiting behind us. Jasper is so precious.

Love,
Val

LuYu looks GREAT! He is such a handsome guy and how wonderful to have those details from Amanda. I love thinking about both of your sons and hope that their early connection at St. Lucy's will be something that turns into a lifelong friendship. I am sorry you have the "slow" judge and hope that she will suddenly change her ways and get your case going. Hang in there!

We're hanging in there. And it's a new week, so we can always hope that this will be the one.
