I have wondered how it would feel to write those words! (I am in a coffee house after trying 3 places to find internet working..... it went down yesterday at the apartment. My heart is still pounding..... or is it the caffeine??) I got a call yesterday afternoon from our lawyer. She stated that she had our file..... I of course thought that meant we were out on a "previo"... (something to fix.)
She repeated we were out... "you mean OUT... as in O --U--T" ... yes that is what she said.
We believe that all of you praying last week must have done an outstanding job.... out in a little over a week -- WOW!! God is good! Sooo..., what does this mean???
Rosalia is undeniably, LEGALLY, without a doubt, forever and ever..... a WOLF!!! She is ours and we are coming HOME!! YYIIPPPPEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joshua's birthday is Monday and I hope he enjoys his birthday present! I will post more when I get the internet back up and also post more pictures.
The next step is Rosalia gets a new birth certificate, with her new last name and Tony and I are also added. We have to get a passport, have a final physical from the U.S. doctor, a 2nd DNA is done (so the U.S. knows it is the same child that we started out with? (don't ask) and we get an embassy appointment (called "pink") where we get her U.S. visa. All in all, it could be 6-8 weeks. I can finally start writing weeks instead of "months" and "who knows?"!!
(I know it is the small things!)
Well, sweetpea just woke up.... post more later.
THANKS to everyone again for all your prayers and support.
Love, Linda and Rosalia

What a special gift. She looks so precious. We can not wait to meet her in person. You know most of us on the bus at the K of C Royals baseball game were praying for a positive result.
Marya can not wait to see Rasalia and Joshua together.
Give her a squeeze from us.
