Our Adoption(s?) From Taiwan
We started our first adoption process in August 2006, intending to adopt a little boy from Vietnam. In December 2006, our agency offered us the opportunity to adopt through their new program in Taiwan. We received Ryan's referral on December 11, 2006, and traveled to Taiwan in July 2007 to bring him home. As of May 2008, we have officially begun the process to adopt a second child from Taiwan.

Today is exactly 2 years since we first saw Ryan's sweet little face, via 4 pictures e-mailed from Taiwan. We decided to copy an idea we've seen on other blogs and start taking a picture of him holding one of his referral pictures every year on his referral anniversary. (We didn't do this last year, so I substituted another picture below, which was taken one day after our first referral anniversary.)
I thought it was funny that he held the picture right in front of his face! Then when I told him I wanted to see his face, he held the picture up over his head.
This was more what I had in mind!

The last two years have been quite a journey, for all 3 of us!
