Well today is the official start of our journey to Eva Jewel although it has been a journey for awhile now! We officially are on a waiting list for a little girl 2-4.5 from Taiwan....it gives me butterflies and goosebumps to even say that.
Hopefully in less than one year, little Eva will be coming home to her forever family! The next step is for me to get a job ;) then we have to get our home study completed and sent to Wide Horizons for children (our official agency as of today).
I told myself from the time I was 13 that I wanted to adopt, but now it feels closer then ever. I remember when I was 9 I begged and begged my mom to adopt a sister for me! Ethan is even excited he keeps asking to look at pictures of children that are available, even though we arent ready yet.
When I asked Evan what he wanted for his birthday (Nov. 10 he will be 3) he said " a bluuu bike and a yister" (sister) it was so funny I really have no clue where he got that from.
We have decided to save up enough to spend 10 days in Beijing then fly to Taiwan and stay another week... can we say ka ching ka ching...I just see $$$ in my head. I know it will be worth every penny the moment we see Eva's picture. It makes me sad to think she may be sitting alone right now wanting a mommy and daddy to cuddle with her. I imagine she is just getting done with school at this time and I wish I could be there to pick her up soon soon.
Well I better stop or I could write all night and it is already close to 4am. I will keep the updates coming as they arrive and hopefully I will have a new job soon!
Goodnight to all and good afternoon to Eva!
