SHE IS ALL OURS!

Signed Sealed and Delivered, Baby she is ours. It was a great day. We had so many road blocks, but everything is great. The judge was very kind. They wouldn't allow our interpreter in the Final Decree, so it made for a lot of Si's and Gracias for me. They actually wanted me to read the Final Decree (4-5 pages) out loud. I know my family and friends are laughing. I did when they asked. I thought it was a joke. Then my attorney said just look and basically pretend you have read it. So funny. All I know is that Mya's name and we were listed as the parents. Not sure about the other stuff. I just trust our Attorney. When it was over, we walked out of the room and Mya jumped in my arms and said Mama Mama Mama with the sweetest smile and laugh. It's like she knew that we were a family from that point on. SOOOOOOO cool. I will never forget that moment.

Mercedes, our Attorney worked her tail off today. The judge was giving her a difficult time with paperwork. I don't know all the details, but we were in Pamplona from 8:00 until 4:00. Mya was car sick on the way there and back. I felt terrible for her. After the day she had, she is just as sweet as ever tonight.

We are getting her passport Monday, and then flying to Bogota at 3:00. When is the latest Doctor's appointment you can get. Someone told me before, but I can't find it. We are hoping to get that on Monday, Visa on Tues, and then pick up Visa on Wednesday. Hopefully we can find tickets for Wednesday night. So excited to get home and show our baby girl off. God has really blessed us.

When we were done at the court we hear fireworks and everyone blowing their horns. They were helping us celebrate. Actually, it turns out that Pamplona'a, not Colombia's, independence day is July 4th as well. They were getting the party started.

Oh, I also saw Mya's foster Dad again today. He didn't see us.

Diane asked last night if it was worth it. YES it is.
