Mei-Li, AIT Date

Hello everyone,

I got an email this morning (around 5AM) stating that we can have our AIT(American Instittute of Taiwan) interview scheduled on September 7th. That means we would be in Taiwan a few(like 3) days before and a few days after. The director is trying to get us an earlier date (the end of August). We really hope that we can go see our princess before then. I know God has His reasons for everything, so if we can only get September 7th, I will accept it. However, I am still praying that if possible, we could go earlier. It sounds ungrateful, I know, but Mei-Li will be 6 months old on September 13th. Please join me in praying about this.

Also, Chris and Amy(fellow adoptive parents) need your prayers. Their baby, Lillian (at the same orphanage as Mei-Li) will be in court Wed August 18 at 10 p.m. Central standard time. Recently, we heard that the biological grandmother was pressuring the birth mother to take her(Lillian) back after leaving her at the orphanage for 4 months. Chris and Amy are crushed and hoping for the opportunity to raise this baby girl whom they have named, and created a space for--in their hearts she is their daughter. We know that only God knows what is best for Lillian. I am asking you to pray for this situation.

Thank you all so much. We'll keep you posted.

Mei-Li's Mommy,
Lindsey
