And I'm so glad for all the family and friends that surround me with love and support every day. I cannot wait to have a son to share in this wonderful life with me and my hubby.
I'm impatiently waiting for updated photos and video from WACAP. They said it would take 10 business days to sort everything out. So probably by my cousin, Molly's birthday (Nov. 10), we'll have some new images of our soon-to-be matched son! I probably won't share these photos with anyone outside our immediate family until the Thai government gives us the official match sometime next year. Just in case he slips out of our reach. But once we have the matched papers signed with WACAP, I may start giving out his name and some details...just cause we're so excited!
Love to all, Ann

Hello all family and friends!
With great excitement, we started our adoption journey in August 2008. We are now first time parents through adoption of an 8-year-old son from Thailand. We have chosen to build our family through the adoption of a son from Thailand because this is where we feel God is leading us right now.
It took 1 year and 9 months to bring Ray home and it was totally worth it!
We appreciate all of your love and support. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Why are we adopting internationally and not domestically?
While we think adopting domestically is extremely important, our hearts are drawn to the waiting children in other countries. Some of our closest friends and relatives have adopted, are adopted themselves, or are planning to adopt internationally. This has been a wonderful experience for them, as I am confident our adoption will be for us.
Why are we adopting from Thailand?
The number one reason is simply...that's where our son is living right now. Also, the Thai people are extremely laid back and friendly and the adoption process is very straight forward in Thailand and has been around for decades so there should be no surprises or corruption. After researching our other options, the requirements to adopt from Thailand fit our requirements. If we decide to adopt again, we will reevaluate the different countries and domestic programs.

We are anxiously waiting too. I look forward to waiting together for our children to come home. I'd love to hear more about your son. E-mail us at ourthaitale@gmail.com!!
I'm so excited for you!! You can always give your child a made-up American nickname like we did. Of course, our daughter's real Thai name is not Penny.
