It was such a glorious phone call this am from Toni...and when she said," Are you ready to praise the Lord?", my husband new that we legally now are the blessed parents to Gracie and Andrew.... and it is crazy around here... the reality of what just happened last nite while we "should" have been sleeping....( our kids all got up at 2 am to pray for Toni and the court hearing) has been settling in with each of us. " Mom do you realize we will be leaving in just a little over 3 weeks?", "Mom, we have so much to do." "Mom, you had better get busy with all of our Christmas stuff." Our flight itenerary has us returning on Christmas eve.... What a fantastic Christmas celebration of the new life the Lord gives to us.....
Court went thru with no issues at all... the judge approved us to be the parents of Gracie and Andrew. The birth parents do not have to be notified and we are clear to make our travel plans ( which are done already :) I can't believe I will be holding my babies forever in just a short time now.
Thank you, thank you , thank you Lord and to all who lifted us up in prayer!
