ALL SIGNATURES COMPLETE!!

Praise God that every paper has been signed and the assignment papers are in our hands - AJ has been assigned to our family!! We have signed our acceptance (didn't have to think about that one too hard!) and Doug drove it to the state capitol to be authenticated yesterday morning (at 4 am!!) As long as there aren't any errors from the state, our acceptance should be on its way to El Salvador this afternoon. From there it goes back to the same adoption office it just came from (deep breath) for the file to be "prepared for the court", whatever that means. In a few weeks it should be presented to the courts and the court will issue us a date within a month or so of receiving the file for us to come. If all goes well, we are looking at JUNE!!

It's a weird place we're in - so very thankful and so very relieved, but truly and totally emotionally and physically exhausted. Please pray for God to restore our minds, hearts and bodies as we prepare for the next part of all of this....bringing our daughter home! :)

More later, for now it is time to rest...

Thank you for all of your prayers and love - what a blessing to have been held so tightly by the hand of the Father and surrounded so securely by the body of Christ these past 10 weeks. We love you!
