Our Adoption Story

We intially created this website to update family and friends about our journey to adopting a baby from Taiwan. We traveled to Taiwan in December 2005 and brought home our wonderful baby boy, William Ke-Fan. The blog has been such a hit with family and friends that we have decided to continue it.

Real-Time Pictures

We are so fortunate to have two real-time pictures of William. A family from Canada was in Taiwan, adopting their daughter. They were kind enough to take two pictures of our sweet baby for us while they were there. These were both taken on Monday, September 19. We had the first picture that same day and the second one less than a week later. It was so bittersweet to receive these pictures. We had just received the September update a few days earlier and he definitely grew a lot between pictures.

A few days after these pictures were taken, we sent a care package to Taiwan for baby Will. We sent him some clothes, chew toys (Allen is hoping he will use these instead of his fist), a fleece blankey, and a picture of us with a note. We kept duplicates of everything for him to enjoy once he comes home. That way, we won't be devastated if items get "shared" with other babies at the orphanage. We hope that he will enjoy his presents and that we may get to see him using some of them in upcoming pictures.
