I was praying for this exact thing in the shower this am (I do a lot of praying in the shower, lol). I was wondering if you had made it through court, so that's what I started praying for. I hope you & Josh travel soon.
Love,
Abby

Thank you for sharing your adventure with the world. For those of us who are just beginning to think about adoption, this is a great way to learn about the process. I believe God is using your blog and many others to encourage me. Looks like I found your blog just in time! Congratulations! I can't wait to visit your store to get a shirt!
