praises

So many beautiful things happened today.

We did not get our court ruling as we had hoped. We were told that we could get them possibly this afternoon, but that our family probably would get the ruling in a day or two since we came to this travel group so late. We were sad but it was understandable.

At 2pm, Peter, our POA, received a call that all six families would get their rulings at 7:30am! Including us!

One other quick story. The dads in our group today were asked at the last minute to go to the notary's office this afternoon instead of visiting the kids at the orphanage. We moms were trying to picture how it would go, since all of us have endured crying, screaming, running away, general tantrums, and stiffness and fear.

This afternoon was by far the best visit we have had! No tears, no screaming, no tantrums. Just quiet love with Mom, with several falling asleep on Mom for the first time!!!
It was beautiful.

Thank You, God. This has been an amazing few days.
