Legally Ours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Friends, we have waited over two years to be able to share this news: Stephanie, Jude, and Lovenie's files have been approved by second legal which makes them all legally our children!!!

They have been "ours" since the moment God put them on our hearts, but I admit it feels really good to have it legally bound here on earth as well!

While this is very exciting we still do not have an idea of when they will come home. Now begins the process with immigration and there are some big problems in that area but they seem to be clearing up considerably! So, they could be home very quickly or we could hit another snag and be stuck for many many months. Only the Lord knows.

For now we celebrate the gift of 6 of our children recognized by the government as belonging to us and we celebrate the gift of Jacques and Vilner who are not yet in the same place but are as much our children as the others!

Thanks for sharing in our many trials and our many moments of great joy (this being one of them) and thank you especially for your continued support and prayers for our family!

One last huge celebration awaits us: Bringing them home!
