We have a group!

I called AAI today and found out that we are in Group R. This is how they group court cases/files together. As far as I know, there were 15 families that were filed for court last week, us being one of those.

So now what?

We wait. Yep...that's the name of the adoption game!

Except now, we're waiting for our court date.

I'll update when that happens!

Welcome Bag Photo

Last Tuesday we got another photo emailed to us of our little EG. It was the cutest picture!

She had on her "Daddy's Sweet Pea" shirt and was holding her photo album, bear and Elmo book...along with the sweetest smile with her little tongue hanging out!

Ahhhh....

I just love the update photos. And they are always a surprise!

Can't wait to be able to show them off!

At this point we are waiting to be filed for court. The courts just opened back up this past week after the annual closure during the rainy season. This year's closure was only about 5 weeks or so, instead of the usual almost 3 months, which means that there's not too much backup with cases to be filed and heard.

We are hoping to hear that we've been filed for court in the next few weeks.

***EDITED TO ADD: We received our final invoice today (Friday, Oct 23rd). That means that we've been filed for court! Yippeee! We don't have a date yet, but as soon as we do, I'll post. In the meantime, please be in prayer that the Lord allows us to pass the first time around.***

So until then, we just look at the beautiful face of the little girl that already is referred to by our last name!

How cool is that?!?
