WE ARE ooooouuuuuuutttttttTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

WE ARE COMPLETE!!!!!! I saved this picture for "THE PGN OUT POST" our first picture as a family. This was taken when we picked up Lucia on our trip. It is the very first picture with us all together!
WE received THE call this afternoon! Lucia is OUT of PGN! That means that Guatemala approved our adoption. Now we just have to wait for a few more weeks (3-6) and then we can BRING HER HOME!! What a huge relief to know that she is now legally our daughter. The fourth and final birth mother sign-off should happen today and the final adoption decree will be issued. She still has to have a second DNA test to prove she is the same child that was referred to us at the beginning. So there are still details and paperwork (180+ file translated back to English, her visa, birth certificate, passport ect. . . .more paperwork), but what a huge relief to know that as far as Guatemala is concerned, she is legally OURS! Praise God. . .and THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SUPPORT, ENCOURAGEMENT, and most importantly PRAYERS! I am crying tears of JOY! Happy 5 month birthday OUR sweet baby girl. You are coming home!!!!!! Our prayers have been answered. WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

What an answer to the many prayers that have been lifted up over the past several month. Grandma and I are so excited. We can't wait to hold her.

Darcy, we are so proud of you and the way that you have kept us all up to date on the blog and have planned for Lucie. We are so blessed to have you in our family.
