Yippeee!!!! We just heard from our Taiwan Coordinator that our FIRST RULING is IN!!!! I am so happy and received that we got this news.
OK, to recap what this means...
The First Ruling, or first decree is the statement that is signed by the Judge (in Taiwan) and forwarded to all involved parties notifying everybody of his/her decision to finalize the adoption. There is a 10 day waiting period before anything more can happen, to allow enough time for all of the parties to be notified.
Once the 10 days have passed the second part, or the Final Decree, is issued and the adoption is finally complete! We then have to wait for our appointment with AIT's immigrant visa office so we can travel and bring little Wei-Che home!
We don't have an actual time line for all of this, but we are hoping we get to travel within a month or two. (OK I'm actually hoping to travel next week, but even the most optimistic of attitudes won't get the court process/AIT appointment done faster)
Also, our sweet little guy turned 6 months old yesterday! I hope we get to meet him soon, before too many more months go by! We should get some updates soon (this week?) and I am anxiously awaiting them to see how big he is getting!
We're getting closer little guy!! Soon we'll be together!
