Oh my gosh, it still does not seem real! We received word earlier this afternoon that our Final Ruling had arrived! My hands were shaking for close to half an hour following that incredible news and we still are dancing on cloud nine! ( Folks, there is still plenty of room up here for more......we hope & pray there is more good news coming for all the other waiting families!)In the past when a family would receive their Final Ruling they were generally given immediate travel dates and an AIT appointment. (AIT issues the Visa for baby's travel!) We have learned that AIT is implementing new procedures and will only translate documents related to the case and issue an appointment following submission of the Final Ruling. So this means we will wait an extra week or two for news of our appointment and subsequent travel dates. We are still hopeful travel will be in January but cannot say for certain! ( Remember those unexpected twists & turns I mentioned in my last post! :) )
No matter what though, this amazing & long awaited news marks the end of our court process and Tyler Pei-En is legally our son. We could not be more proud, delighted, blessed and excited!! I'm so very happy to share this news with you all!
We are coming Baby Boy!!

So very very happy for you!!!!!! We were at the same point in this journey together last spring---with so many uncertainties and only the hope of what was to come--just desperately wanting to get wait-listed. And, oh my goodness---your time is now!!!!!! How wonderful that your beautiful boy will be coming home to you VERY soon!!!! I wish I lived closer so I could see him (and you!!!) in person.
Yea!!!!!
