It is here!

After months of waiting and many prayers prayed by many people, we were presented this morning with Lael’s official birth certificate!!!!!!!

We have been told “in two weeks” since applying for the certificate in September.  This is a huge step in the process of adoption.  The next step will be going with Ega (her birth father) next week to a notary where he will sign a written consent form for us to adopt Lael. He has been willing to do this since the first day he discussed adoption with us. At that point she was 3 weeks old.  

Once we have the written consent form, we can hand over all of our documents to our attorney who will then call for a hearing before the court.

Thank you for your prayers! Celebrate with thanksgiving this sweet answer to prayer today!
