-Bud West I love you choice of names. I named my son Jeremiah Alexander. He is 9 now. Very cool! -Krista Wow - Sarah, what an AMAZING job you have done on your videos and site! It is by far the very best I have ever seen! I am truly amazed! And Jeremiah is so precious. It reminded me of our adoption journey even though ours was to Russia. The feelings are all the same, though! I am so glad we have re-connected after all these years and I look forward to getting to know you again! -Marcia Westover (Corbin!) Congratulations on being 'legal' little man! Looking cute in your red, white and blue :) -Andrea White Sarah - Could you email me privately at rebecca30@comcast.net? I have some questions for you. :) Thank you!! Rebecca "Until We Meet In Taiwan" -Rebecca That is a very cool outfit that Jer is wearing!!! And I love the pic of him with the chopsticks. :) Awesome photos, thank you for sharing!! Hugs, Rebecca 'Until We Meet In Taiwan' -Andy & Rebecca Glad all is going well. Can't wait to hear about #2. We're considering #4. (You'll have to stay tuned for that one though) Jan -Jan Stricklin Love the videos!! You did a great job, and I love the music!!! :) What an adventure you all had. Jeremiah is such a sweetheart... watching your videos made me so excited for our own "Gotcha Day" and bringing our baby home! Thanks so much for sharing your story. -Rebecca He's sooo very cute! We're really happy for you guys. We love you all. -John & Janelle Hounsom I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT HAS BEEN THAT LONG... HE IS SO CUTE...

Email me back and I will give you my website address to continue the game. Your spam filter won't let me put in my adoption website address on here. jenandbillp@comcast.net -Jennifer Powers 07/20/2007 Hello there, guys! Thinking of you and hope the new home is suiting you well, that little Jer is lighting up your every day, and that fundraising for your future child's adoption is going well. Update when you get a chance, and let's see more pictures! -Tisra I check your blog out regularly, I just don't leave comments. Sorry. I love the play room. You sound very busy these days. Glad all is going well. -JAN STRICKLIN Congratulations!!! I am so exited for you all!! Your pictures are wonderful and you are a beautiful family. -Jenn S. Sarah, I enjoy reading your posts everyday. It is great to know what taiwan will be like if we ever get there. -Jennifer P.-NH Hi Sarah and Jer, catching up on the adoption blogs today and wanted to sat hi. I love the new look and Jer is quite the handsome little man! Sounds like mommyhood is agreeing with you Sarah. Thanks for the support you are to me, even though I do not post much and don't thank you personally, it helps to know we are all in this together. Have a blessed day. -Janalee Jer is getting so big and it sounds like everything is going well...aside from his ears. I hope you get his ears all worked out. I love you site and he's so so cute. -ann I was looking through my computer today and found my wish for you. I thought since it was too long to fit on your wish blanket that I would put it here. Dear Jeremiah, The material I have chosen for you is a piece of a Cub Scout uniform to remind you of my wish for you. My wish for you Jeremiah is that even if you never grow up to be a Scout that you grow up to become what it means to be a Scout. For truly the essence of what it means to be a Scout is to be a good Christian and a good citizen of this wonderful country. The Scout Oath says, "On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight." This means that you should do your best at whatever you do. That you should do what God's will is for you and serve your country in whatever manner God calls you to, even if that's just to be a good citizen. Also that you should have a spirit of caring to help those in need. Last but not least that you should keep yourself in tip top shape when it comes to your physical, mental and spiritual health. Next is the Scout Law which is basically a list of characteristics. You'll notice that these characteristics are also that of a good Christian. It says, "A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent." Most of these are obvious how they are characteristics of a Christian, but a few are not as obvious. What does it mean for a Christian to be thrifty? It means that God gives us resources whether they are intelligence, time or money and that we should use them wisely and not waste what God gives us. What does it mean for a Christian to be brave? It takes bravery to do God's will, whether it is a trial like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego's fiery pit or something as simple as walking up to someone and sharing your faith with them (and believe me if you're not an outgoing person that does take bravery). Finally what does it mean for a Christian to be clean? Being clean whether you are talking about your body, room, house or environment is a matter of respect. It is a respect for God and the things He has given you. Finally the Scout Motto says, "Always be prepared." That means you need to take a look into your future and prepare for things you know are going to happen, such as college or retirement and for the things that just come up in life. More importantly though, it means to be spiritually ready; to be ready for judgment by accepting Christ as your savior, and to be ready for spiritual battle by praying and reading your Bible daily. -JoMa Chrisi You are growing so fast little man. I can't wait to finally meet you. Maybe some day soon I'll just have to find a way out to TN. Love you guys so much and miss you more every day. -JoMa Chrisi So sorry to hear about Jer's ear. (These things always manage to happen right before a plane trip...dont they??) In any case I hope everyone has a great New Years Eve (Partying the night away!!) & that next year everyone is healthy & happy. Oh & by the way I love the pictures:) ~Sherry (Kobi's mama) -Sherry Hey guys. I love the new theme to the site and the new pics. Thank you so much for including us in your Christmas celebration. We miss you so much and can't wait to see you guys again. Thank you also for including us in your site. We are so blessed to be a part of it. I'm sorry it has been a hard time. We love you and miss you soo soo much. -Jennifer and Mark I wanted to say congratulations. I know we haven't talked in a long time, but there are days I really miss you. I am VERY glad to see this is finally real for you, Praise god, he is very cute!!! -Lucas Hey little man! It does my heart so good to see you home with your mom and dad. You my dear are a dream come true for all of us. I wish you happiness and joy all the days of your life. Hopefully we will get to come see you very soon. Much love to you! -Jo Ma Chrisi i just want to tell you im so very happy for you and your family. you son is absolutely adorable and it seems everyone is already in love with him. i can see he is being welcomed into a wonderful family with lots of love. i wish you all the very best in your journey of parenthood. jeremiah will know exactly how much he was loved and wanted. have a great life!!! -amie from nj What a cutie!

I am so anxious to hear about y'all and that sweet little boy of yours! "I pray that the Lord will continually guide you and give strength to your bones and that you will be like a well-watered garden; a wellspring whose waters do not fail!" (in case your energy is feeling a little zapped) -Kristin Hello. What's going on over there? How's the little guy doing? How are Mom and Dad doing? Hope all is well. -Jan (from Yahoo group) Sarah where are you? I hope you are doing fine and that you are just so busy with your new little bundle of energy that you can't post.

I think you have Jeremiah already now. I pray that everything is going well. I hope we get to see pictures soon! Annie Blakeslee (from the adopting from Taiwan Yahoo group) -Annie I sure hope you are gettign him soon! You need to update this blog :), I am going crazy wondering how you all are doing. I know it has been a long journey for you guys and it feels like I was just taking pics of that sweet face and hoping he would soon find his forever family, and passing along everything I could about him. I am so glad that God had a plan and our paths were able to cross so that you all could be together! He is precious, with the sweetest eyes. Congratulations. Hope you are holding him very very soon if not already! Nicole -Nicole Hughes
