Today marks 1 year since we were put on the wait list for Taiwan!
WOW!!!
When we were put on that list, we were told the wait would be 4-6 months for a referral...and it ended up being 10 months.
I can remember how hard those 10 months were to wait, and sometimes I didn't think I could mentally handle it for one more day (add to that the 18 months we already had waited for China)...but now that we know who Olivia Hsin-Hua is...it feels like those 10 months FLEW!!! I can't believe it was really a year ago that we were put on the list. WOW!
Hoping we get updates by next week (fingers crossed for some smiles) and maybe our First Ruling!!!

Bai Jia Bei~100 Good Wishes Quilt
Many familes adopting from China and Taiwan create a Bai Jia Bei or Good Wishes Quilt for their children. This tradition originated in mainland China, and involves asking family and friends for a piece of fabric, and a wish for the baby. The piece of fabric is used to make the quilt, and the wish goes into a memory book. The quilt contains the luck, energy and good wishes from all who contribute a piece of fabric, and it is then passed down from generation to generation.
We have asked our friends and family to send us a piece of fabric 12 inches by 12 inches, along with a wish for Olivia.
If you would like to contribute a square and a wish to Olivia's Bai Jia Bei, please send me an email, or leave me a comment.
Thank you so much for joining in and helping to make a wonderful keepsake for our daughter with pieces of each of you in it!
Love,
Paul & Heather
