Empty Arms and the Big 40

Well Today I turn the big 40! And another holiday that we just knew Noah would be here for is passing with me having empty arms! I so ache for my baby boy today! Not that I have not been aching for him but it just seems so hard each time another thing that we planned with him here comes and goes. It was like Children's Camp was hard. We planned an extra helper and all because we thought Noah would be home by the time that came around and so the whole week of camp it was so evident he was missing to us all. BUT I know my God is Able! And I KNOW HIS timing is perfect. He can have our file in front of that judge the second HE wants to and have the judge sign that decree! :) I just have to wait and trust that it WILL happen! We are fundraising and doing all we can to raise the travel money and all and also busy gathering things for Noah when he is home! :) I am wanting to paint the nursery soon I think! :) It is fine the way it is but for some reason I really love the idea of paiting the walls to look like an ocean. God is bridging an Ocean to bring our Noah home! And of course Noah's Ark was on water and his room's theme is Noah's Ark! My family threw me a small Suprise Party after Church this past Sunday which was so lovely :) I am very blessed with an amazing family and Church family :) Also Bobby and Celeste have plans for me today :) We are taking a family picture (hopefully that works out for today) at a portrait studio and they are taking me to lunch and then to a movie! Tonight is Church so I get to see my wonderful Church family on my birthday as well and I get to go to Praise and Worship which is my favortie thing! :) Well, thanks for listenin everyone :) Please keep Noah in your prayers, and the adoption and the fundraising and all! :)

My birthday won't be complete without you here with me but I know you are havin such a wonderful day with your sweet Nannys as you wait for us to come get you!

Noah Updates!!!!!

Hello all :)


I got some updates on Noah today and I thought I would share:

here are his measurements:

height: 29.72" / 75.5 cm
weight: 21.16 lb / 9.6 kg
head: 17.72" / 45 cm

here are other updates :)

"When he wakes up he sits up or hold the railing to stand up; he smiles at you when you call his name; he will cry out loud if he cannot see the nannies or wants someone to hold him. He can walk by pushing a walker. He eats very well and is motivated to learn. He watches people’s mouth to learn to talk and repeats the sound."

Below is the updated medical information:

• 4/08: from birth to nine to ten months, we observed that most of the sound he makes is “a:”. He is almost one year old, I have not heard he made “da” or “ma” sound, but he love to interact with others, no different from other children.
• 4/29/08: went to Chengkung university medical center to see ENT specialist, Dr. Wu, Jun-ling to arrange hearing test: normal
• 5/6/08: Another arrangement is the otoacoustic emission hearing tests and brain stem auditory nerve test, both results show normal
• 5/08: Can stand up and hold on something to walk, like to play and hit toys, likes people to hold him. When he wants to have someone to hold him, he will cry very loud. Can push a walker and walk. Eat very well and is motivated to learn. Will watch people’s months to learn to talk, can play peek-a-boo with you. When you call his name, he will smile at you.
• 5/08: two upper front teeth and 2 lower front teeth
• 5/9/07: See Pediatric nerve doctor, Dr. Chen, Yong-Rong to ask about his language development. According to Dr. Cheng, his ENT hearing test shows normal, suggested to talk to him more to stimulate his motivation and chances to talk. A follow up on 11/7/08

I pray beyond pray that he is here LONG before that follow up appointment! I just thought I would share! My boy is growin up a world away and it is hard to see all he does and how many teeth and all that I wasnt there for him but at the same time I feel so much closer to him when I read any tiny bit of news! :)

Mommy and Daddy Love you so much Noah!
Catch my kisses in the wind!

Newest Pics and prayer needs for Noah!

Hello to all :)

I wanted to write and update on where things are with our Journey to Noah! :) Our Dossier is complete and authenticated and all and on its way to Taiwan if not already there! :) We have not heard if we are logged into court yet or not but are praying for things to move ahead quickly! :) We are praying for the fast judge! :) It is possible we could have an adoption decree signed in 2 weeks if we get the fast judge. It could also take 4 months. I am praying very hard and trying to be content in the waiting! We are actively fundraisng and please pray for these ventures to be very profitable! :) We are also workin on applying for another grant or two in hopes of help with the airfare, travel money and Noah's Visa we still lack and any other unforseen needs that may arise in Taiwan or along the way. I feel in my spirit of sense of urgency to raise the rest of the needed funds so please pray with us for ideas, donations, plate sales, etc to be above and beyond what we have done before! :) Noah continues to grow and develop a world away. This is so much harder than I have ever imagined. This lovin a baby a world away and waiting. I am so incredibly blessed that God has chosen me to be Noah's Mommy and I can't wait for the day that he is placed in my arms! Praying I can get these pictures to come through!

Hello all!!!!! I wanted to share some news with yall! This evening when Bobby brought the mail in we had something from USCIS!!!!! It is a I-797C. I thought we were waiting on an I-171h so I was confused but it says we are approved. It says " It has been determined that you are able to furnish proper care to an orphan or orphans as defined by section etc.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those words are so wonderful! Another place it says Your application has been approved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I am thinkin this is what we are waitin on to say we can bring Noah into the country! :)

Also I wanted to share that we received a letter from Shoahannah's Hope and we are being given a $3000 grant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God is so incredible!!!!!!!!! What a day it has been today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please continue to pray for us to raise the money we need for flight, hotel rooms, food, Noah's visa and anything else we will need. Also please pray for the fast judge to make the adoption final in Taiwan!!!!!! and give us travel dates SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What an Anniversary Gift we received!!!!!!!!!! News News!

I just wanted to share with everyone that while Bobby and I were away for our Wedding Anniversary we received an amazing gift!!!!! At 7:08 pm on our anniversary Wednesday night I received a phone call from the Director of the Taiwan program at Heartsent (our WONDERFUL adoption agency). Well, She said she had sent us something by Fedex to arrive at our home thursday A.M. and that is was VERY GOOD NEWS! I was like soo excited and about to jump out of my skin :) She said that St. Lucy's (the orphanage where are little Noah is living) had finished with their review and had approved us as Noah's Parents!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And what was in the FedEx envelope to us was 4 copies of the Adoption Contract in Chinese!!!!!! She said when St. Lucy's receives those back as far as St. Lucy's is concerened Noah is our son!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We can not abandon him after that. LIKE WE WOULD!!! WHAT! give me a break. We were so so so so excited! Bobby and I were jumpin up and down and I was hollering I am pregnant for sure! LOL paper preganant! not that we werent already paper pregnant but there was a chance St. Lucy's could have said no so we are thrilled! :) We also have some other papers to sign, one is a referral paper because we never did that step officially and they said to sign here IF you accept this child. I am like IF? You have to be kidding me! OF COURSE we accept him. We have been tryin to get him home so hard! YES YES YES! Give me my baby! LOL And in the referral package on the cover was a new picture of Noah! :) It is adorable! It was taken the day before his first birthday! I need to make a copy of it to a disk so I can add it to the blog! So anyway, Friday (April 25, 2008) Bobby and I met at the Bank to sign the contracts and have them notoraized! Then we went to FedEx and sent them to Liza (our Amazing Agency's Amazing Taiwan Director!) so that they should be in her hands by Monday Morning!!!! She will then send it all on to Taiwan!!!!! And everything will go to court. I dont know exactly when we will log into court but I am praying it is quickly!!!! Please please pray for a fast judge! Pray for USCIS to hurry up with our 171H and please please pray for God to move miraculously with the $4000 orphanage donation money we need, the airfare, hotel, food, Noah's Visa and anything else we do not know about yet! Luckily God knows. Also pray we can make wise decisions about hotel and that we guesstimate the amount of money we need to take with us correctly. :) Pray with us that the Judge approves and finalizes the adoption Quickly! I cannot wait to post on here to yall that we have a travel date!!!!!!!! I have a video of my sweet Noah but I am not real sure how to put it on here! I will work on that! It is only 24 seconds long but the most precious 24 second in the world!!!!!!

Thanks yall for the prayers and caring and please continue on.



Noah honey, Mommy and Daddy are gettin closer and closer. We love you little man! I am blowing you kisses in the wind baby boy!
