So sorry it took me so long to post. I literally haven't slept since arriving in Taiwan so all of my energy since yesterday has been devoted to Miss Annabella. She is perfect! She has THE FUNNIEST personality. She laughs and smiles constantly. She came to me instantly when I arrived at her foster mother's home and hasn't left my side since. So far, the transition has been great. Her foster mom, Mrs. Lou, took such great care of her. I could tell the amazing connection they had while visiting with her. She is a wonderful lady and I am so glad she cared for Annabella. I didn't get the opportunity to meet Annabella's birthmother. I completely understand and respect her decision not to meet.
AIT was a breeze today! Fion is so wonderful and got us in and out so quickly. Annabella napped almost the entire time we were there so that made it even easier.
She slept great last night too. I put her in her crib at 10:00 and she slept until 7am. Not bad, huh?
I was informed by AIT that her Visa might be complete by today so we may head home early. We would love to be home in time for Jack's birthday!!!
We are having lunch today with Melissa and Corrado and also the other JOH family. We are hoping to get pictures of all three girls together.
Well, I need to wrap this up. I will probably not post again until I'm back in the states. I hope you enjoy the pictures of my sweet daughter....I love saying that!

YAY! Ok, where do i start . . . she's soooo cute-of course! So much bigger than i thought-it's funny when you see them sitting by themselves-you're so used to seeing the updates where they're laying on their backs-she looks like a sweetie! So happy for you!!!
Glad it all went well-kaiya slept a lot when i first got her-wow-i was amazed-i had her in my sling and she'd immediately fall asleep in my arms in the car or on the plane-hopefully you'll have the same luck! It's nice to know they're so well adjusted! :)
It's so nice to have met the Foster mom-you can tell they love their foster children soooo much and are so well taken care of!
Hope you can make it home early!
