The agency we are using for our Taiwan adoption is Journeys of the Heart in Washington state. We have a little yahoo group for those of us adopting or who have adopted from Taiwan and uses this agency. Since that group is a great source of information, comfort and comraderie during this long wait, everyone gets to know each other from their posts and pictures. This past Saturday some of us from NY,NJ, and CT decided to meet in person. We chose a midpoint for most. It turned out to be a really nice time. We met several other nice couples that will be waiting along with us and who have similar dates. Two of the couples just brought their children home from Taiwan, one a boy and one a girl. They are both 9 months old and very cute. Of course we held, cuddled and oggled them. These couples also gave us a lot of info and insight into this journey. This is one of those things where you feel funny going and then you are really glad that you did. Hopefully we can all be a help to one another and perhaps our children will become friends as they get older.

Hey Lisa,
It was great meeting you and everyone else also. Hope we get to do it again sometime.
We had a great time meeting everyone too! I hope seeing Sophie and Andy was a good reminder of the light at the end of the tunnel--and once you have your baby home, the long wait is so worth it!!
