SENTENCIA!!!! YAY!!!

Thank you so much for your prayers everyone... God is good and we're coming home! We received word yesterday that the final court signed our papers and Frank went late in the afternoon to sign the paperwork. He came back with quite a story to tell. It seems that the court system here in Colombia is still a bit antequated. None of the papers are backed up electronically and all of the documents he signed at carbon paper copies. When Frank and the driver examined all of the paperwork, they saw that the defensora hadn't signed the document... in true Frank style, he started to panic a bit, but no worries, the Lord took care of it all! They were able to find her and she signed it right there. So, today Frank left this morning to go obtain Joshua's original birth certificate and soon we'll go get his passport. This afternoon we're scheduled to meet with the Embassy Doctor and if all goes well, tomorrow we can get his visa to leave the country and go home!

Lord willing, we will arrive in Miami on Saturday evening. God is good, just in time for Mother's Day! Honestly, that was my selfish prayer all week and my awesome God granted it. Mother's Days have been rough for me the past couple of years without my Mom and I'm so exicted to see new meaning in them. I don't even think it was so much about the fact that I wasn't a "Mom", but more about the fact that it's always been a day of family and now I can rejoice that the Lord has brought yet another member into ours.

Thank you all for your prayers, your love and your support. Frankie and I were saying that we SO COULD NOT have done this without you all. We felt the love coming from everywhere and we know Josh was meant to be in our family. He will always know how much love awaits him... for that, we are eternally gratefull! xoxo
