Yesterday, I had the privilege of connecting with some new friends on Facebook. Both families recently returned from Taiwan after picking up their children from The Home of God's Love.
They also have spent time with Chase and even sent us a couple new pictures!
Janie and I are extremely jealous that they have had the opportunity to hold our baby boy but we are so grateful to them for sharing their experiences with us.
"Hi there, you don't know me but my husband and I have adopted 2 precious children from the Home of God's Love in Taiwan. We just got back with our second, a son. He is 7 months. Anyhow, I helped take care of Chase when we were there in early December. He is such a doll and very sweet tempered. You guys are very blessed to have him and vice versa. I can't wait for you to get him. If you have any questions along the way, please don't hesitate to ask us."
"In the beginning of November, we went to Taiwan to pick up our son. When we went to his AIT appointment in Taipei, the lady from the Ray of Hope brought Chase to us to take
back to the Home. He was soo tiny and absolutely adorable!! Ted (the founder of the orphanage) had to
meet someone halfway back to the Home to get some additional paperwork
for another adoption case, so we took Chase with us when we went
shopping at the big Market in Taipei. My husband held Chase most of
the time while us girls shopped for souvenirs! He is such a content
baby! Sooo sweet! Later, when Ted came back, we went downtown and had
the famous potstickers for lunch. Chase was so good during our lunch. I
think he slept mostly, but also had a bottle while we were there. On
our way back down to the Home, we all took turns holding Chase (yes,
they don't use many car seats there!), and we even made a bottle for
him while driving :) We would love to stay in touch
with you as you are going through the adoption process. If you ever
have any questions, please feel free to ask. We've gone through this
twice now, and would love to help others."
you know...he's just getting all of his "quiet and good" baby moments out of the way so you can enjoy parenting to the fullest!
