Introducing Etta – We passed court!!!

Turns out my dad’s birthday was lucky for us after all.  It’s been a bittersweet morning, though, since the friend I really wanted to travel with did not get the same good news as I did.  Hoping she gets the good word very quickly.

  1. Ahhhh!!!! Awesome, awesome, awesome!!! She’s just beautiful!!!!! You’re going to be in the same situation we will be in – too much cuteness in one house. How will we survive?

    Congratulations! I hope the rest of the process goes smoothly for you.

  17. Congratulations on passing court! I’m sure you’re friend will next time, though small consolation. As you already know, your daughter is beautiful, truly stunning, I am so very happy for you. mmm….all your kids are gorgeous, guess they figured she had to keep up with her brother, lol.
    Seriously, beyond happy for you. My version of an adoption prayer: May your process go smoothly, may you travel swiftly, may you hold your daughter in your loving arms where she belongs, sooner rather than later. HUGS!! Hope you’re toasting the good news!
