I don't have much time, but I wanted to give everyone a quick update. We made it to Taiwan safely. Praise God! We have spent two days with Isaac now. He is still not spending the night with us, but he is just not ready for that. They are trying to gradually work him in to spending more time with us. He is a very insecure and scared little boy. I am learning more now about his time before he came to the orphanage at the age of 2 1/2 and it is very sad. He is getting a lot of love and care here, but he desperately needs the love and security of a loving family. He will play with us, which is much more than the caregivers here had expected. He is still unsure of us so we are just giving him time. Please pray that the bonding will begin to move faster. We are praying that he will be very comfortable and trusting of at least one of us before we leave next Thursday. It is a hard enough trip for any child, but for one who is tramatized and scared and who can't communicate with you, it will be even harder. Here are a few pictures.

Hi Vickie and family,
So glad to hear that you all made it to Taiwan safely! Isaac will come around, of that I am sure. Before long he will sense your unconditional love and begin to accept it and thrive. He is such a cutie! You all look perfect together! We will continue to pray for the entire family!

I am praying for your family! :) It is wonderful you are there with him now and I pray for as easy a transition as possible!
Big hugs,
Tami
