After lots of waiting we received our I-171h this morning!!!!!!!! We need this piece of paper to be able to pass court. We aren't sure if it will make it to ET and be translated, etc. in time for our court date, but at least we have it and it shouldn't delay things too long. This is the last paper we need (from our end) for this process. Now we wait to see if the ET courts request more or not. We are so ready to get to the boys and for them to be legally ours!
On a different note, the boys birth dad had to appear in court today to give his consent. Unfortunately there are so many emotions behind every step of this process. I can't even begin to imagine how he must feel about today, and honestly probably everyday of the rest of his life. We are so excited to have the boys join our family, but we know that it wasn't an easy or painless choice for their birth dad. We will be forever grateful to him for making the tough choice of placing the boys up for adoption. We can't wait to hug him ourselves and tell him how much we love the boys and will always love and take care of them.
Brad and Tara - we are praying for y'all!!! Praying Jacob gets feeling better very, very soon! Praying for your travels and bonding and attaching with your boys! Praying for them as their life changes and all the emotions that go with that! Praying for their birth father as he grieves again. Love y'all and just love watching what God is doing in your lifes! Thank you for being willing to follow Him and serve Him! Love y'all!!
