First... Melissa email me!!! I posted a comment on your blog!
Hi all and thank you for following our blog while we experienced the best of Taiwan! I am so not finished blogging about our days in Taiwan...so be sure to keep up as I finish up with our travel journal!!! I still have a few days worth of pictures and stories to tell you all about! Our last few days were jam packed with fun, eating and just all out experiencing Taiwan!! We had such a great trip and we definitely see this country as a place we want to return to one day!( What do you think fellow Yahoo groupies... a reunion in Taiwan in 10 years??) As we left the airport today I swear that I saw a tear in Mr. Yeh's eye and I know that for sure Scott and I were choking back tears for him. This man is wonderful. I wish every family visiting Taiwan had the opportunity to allow Mr. Yeh and his son Alex to show them their country. I am so very satisfied with all that I saw, tasted and experienced and yet I know that their is so much more to enjoy! I am sad that we have left and yet so very happy to be home!
Also, our family would like to thank Gladney, our adoption agency for making our Taiwan adoption a piece of cake! This is a wonderful and caring agency. When Commonwealth closed we thought for sure that we would be starting again at square one. But thanks to Lindsay and the other caring workers here at Gladney we are the proud parents of a bouncing baby boy! We know that when they first took over the Taiwan program it was a learning process. These folks at Gladney passed the test with flying colors and they made our experience in Taiwan the perfect experience that it was! We couldn't be happier with our Po or with Gladney! Thank you Lindsay (and everyone else who helped us along the way... Mary, Kaitlyn)!!!
And of course I just couldn't help showing off some new Po pictures from today... no, it was yesterday!
As others have warned... the jetlag monster is going to hit us hard! I mean come on... we landed early at about 9 pm on the 23rd and here it is the middle of the night... 2:30ish in the morning but to us... it is 2:30 in the afternoon! We probably made the wrong choice in sleeping nearly the entire flight home but I will tell you that the flight went so fast! I just put Po down for his afternoon nap that maybe we can stretch into the beginnings of sleeping at the wrong time of day for him. I am going to force myself to sleep in a bit here and Shasha actually does have her jammies on and my mom just took Shasha up to her bedroom to tuck her in. I am so lucky as my mommy is staying over tonight to help as I am sure that in a few hours when it is actually my Taiwan bedtime... I will be VERY SLEEPY!
Also, thanks to all of you who have sent cards, flowers and messages to us for Scott's father. We appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers.

Welcome home! The jet lag still has us a bit off, but we've been home four days and are starting to get into a better routine. It was so nice meeting your family in Taiwan - I'm happy you had a good time sightseeing and shopping!

Well glad you made it home safely. I am so happy for all of you. Can't wait to hear about the rest of your journey in Taiwan and see all the pictures. I am sure it will take a few days to get used to time difference once again now that you are home.
Po looks like he is settling in very nicely in his home now.
I know you mom is a very special person. I know she has been looking forward to this time as much as you have been.
Let me know once you are all settled in as we would love to come visit and meet Po and see ShaSha again.
I can't wait to hear how she wxplains her experience in Taiwan was in her own little blog..
Welcome home Po Mum!!! Loved following your trip and seeing Po in all of your arms. Keep well, know the jet lag really gets to all but maybe since your dreaded long flight back went so well the jet lag will too!

Welcome home Jami and family of 4!!! I am so glad you had an incredible experience in Taiwan. Mr. Yeh and Alex really do make the trip amazing. I hope you get some sleep ( at the right times) and are able to flip back to eastern time.
