Adoption update!

Mike and Annie flew out to Guatamala today to meet their new son and sign papers in person, shaving about 3-4 weeks off the total wait time.

The difficult part will be to "have" the baby for 48 hours in the hotel and then return him to his foster mother until everything is finalized. They went through this with their oldest son and they know how hard it will be, but they are thrilled to be able to meet their new son. Truly a labor of love on their part!

Keep the prayers coming!

Oh yes that would be very hard, i'm sure they will treasure every moment in that hotel room before they have to return him for a while.
Our Lord will watch over him until he is where he belongs.
They are in my prayers, thanks for the update and happy bday to your DH :D

"Slavery ended in medieval Europe only because the church extended its sacraments to all slaves and then managed to impose a ban on the enslavement of Christians (and of Jews). Within the context of medieval Europe, that prohibition was effectively a rule of universal abolition. "— Rodney Stark
