A new day has come

A New Day Has Come!!!
October 17, 2006
That is right... I woke up this morning and asked Chris If it was all true... his response... If not we are both on some good stuff!! (true Chris!!) :) We are so incredibly happy we can't even describe how this feels.. I think we are both in a form of shock! Ok so now what happens???
We have to confirm that Lily's birth mom has signed off for the 4th and final time. We are pretty sure that this has already happened. This means that it is final. No one can come knock on our door and take her from us! Once the attorney gets the sign off he will them submit us for her new birth certificate. This will be done in Mixco, Guatemala her birth town. The good news that this should only take about 3 weeks or so. After 21 of waiting I am sure that is going to fly!! Once they get the new birth certificate our case will be submitted to the U.S. Embassy for Visa processing. Since we were able to visit her in May she will come home as a U.S. citizen!! Once they submit the case into the Embassy it takes about 2 business days and then we will get our "PINK SLIP"(-the one time in life this is a good thing!) The Pink slip tells us when we need to travel. Most people get about 1 week between being notified of PINK and having to travel!
So now after waiting for sooo long for movement we are FIANLLY going to be running around like busy bees!!
I am going to work on posting some more pics on here of our trip and her nursery!
We are going to get ourselves together today and try to calm down and we are going to put a call into Kerry @ Project Oz to see where everything is at.
Keep checking back in! It is going to get hoping now!! Chris and I love you all!! edit
