Having started this journey in November 2005, coming so close to reaching our dream of becoming a family in April 2007 only to have all our hopes dashed, we really can't quite believe the amazing news received which arrived like a bolt out of the blue ! ..........
We have received this email which had been sent from China to DCSF:
"I'm writing in reference to the Hadfield family, whose case has been discussed with your predecessor as well as yourself several times. After considering every aspect of this family's situation, including their medical circumstances, the patience they've shown during such a long time, as well as other factors of this family, the Review Department finally reached a decision that this family is approved to adopt in China. Please communicate this decision to this family and wait for our matching information."
Having been advised one year ago that CCAA would NOT proceed with our application, this email came as a complete and utter shock and to be honest, one which, we really were very distrustul of!
Five years after initiating our dream of becoming a family, we finally received news of our longed for daughter, Mae Jiao. Many of you have shared & supported us throughout our journey and we hope this blog will be a good way of keeping you all in touch with what's happening both now and in the future..... It will also be a great 'diary' for Mae's Lifebook as well as a perfect way to express how loved she was both before she arrived home and as she grows.
Will & Theresa with one of our beautiful nieces!
