YES!! (fist pump, chest bump, touchdown dance)

We received our I600 approval today! It was a long and frustrating wait. Really, any wait during the adoption process feels long and frustrating. The time after you go to court and get the adoption decree, but before you can bring her home has been the worst part and the hardest to deal with on a daily basis. She was ours the first time we saw her picture, but became ours legally back in August. So for two months, OUR DAUGHTER has been thousands of miles away, across an ocean, and we couldn't do much to change the situation but wait. Mostly patiently and sometimes notsomuch. She is well cared for and loved there, but we miss her terribly! We'll be headed to Ghana very soon to see Little Sister, get her visa and (dare I say it) bring her home! I think I need to use a Few!More!Exclamation!Points!!!!

The Best I Can Do Today

UPDATE: They are coming home tomorrow!!!

Just look at the sidebar and read, right at the top. Then stick your tongue out at the fairy, who is once again on my very last nerve with her counting. Still holding on to the knot and praying for news. I keep going back to this post:

Now, will you all please pray for a wonderful friend who is waiting for good (fabulous, wonderful, excellent) news in Ghana tomorrow afternoon. She has been there for many weeks and I know her family here would love for her to come home soon with their new siblings!
