New Family Member!!

Yes,  SHE SAID YES!!!!!  We got an email this afternoon from our case worker telling us that Vita wants to be adopted into our family!!!  We are thrilled, and we feel SO thankful.  What a blessing!!!  Thank you all who have been praying so faithfully.  We have been waiting, and starting to doubt that after this many weeks the answer would be positive.  In the meantime, so many people asked me if we had any news, showing their care and support.  I thought to myself, if only Vita knew how many people here already care about her!  I truly feel thrilled to share this with you, knowing how happy you will all be to hear the news!
Dinner at Outback Steakhouse - Fun and Yummy!

Our last day together, ready for church.

At the airport, just before she left to go back to Latvia.

Now the ball is in our court!  We will work diligently to complete all of the necessary paperwork, home study, etc.  We cannot wait to get this beautiful girl back here with us!  I told Mike what I wanted for my birthday was that Vita would say 'yes.'  Best birthday gift ever.
Thanking God, and thank you!!
