Got Him!!

Today was the day! At long last we picked up Willie Po-Cheng Bianco! We drove about 2 hours southwest of Taipei to the agency and then to his foster home. Everyone has been helpful and appreciative . . . especially our guide, Meiru, who has driven us around and put up with all of our annoying questions. Tomorrow we have to go to the American Institute in Taiwan here in Taipei for another official interview. After that, we'll be heading out with our guide and Willie to see a little more of Taipei.

It was a long day for us and especially for him. He's still very unsure about who we are and why he's with us (and he's letting us know it!). Chris is doing a masterful job of trying to bond with him and it seems to be working a bit. He's absolutely aware of Chris and knows when she walks away. He's fallen asleep on her a couple of times. Of course it will all happen in his due time!

We miss all of you (especially you Livie & Evie!) and are looking forward to getting home. In the meantime, we'll keep you all updated.
