At Last

We went to the Embassy this morning to hear our file was being reviewed still. We were disappointed to say the least. We walked away and all I could say under my breathe is what I have been saying all weekend. "I trust you God, even though I do not understand." I had to surrender for sanity sake and I did experience peace over the weekend. Today was long as we waited for Marisa to contact the Embassy as she had previously told us our file had been reviewed and the letter just needed to be written. The call just came that the Article 5 (the letter the Embassy issues) was written and at the SNA. (secretary of national adoption). So we have the green light to be united with our daughters. THANK YOU GOD!!!!!!
We are waiting for the confirmation call that the psychologist that needs to observe our initial meeting can travel. I will update later tonight.

UPDATE: we received the final confirmation that the Psychologist is available to travel and WE WILL MEET OUR DAUGHTERS tomorrow March 8th 2011.

We have already started saying our last.

Our last Monday without our daughters
Our last night to sleep without having met our daughters.
Our last date night before parenthood
Our last walk through Parque Kennedy without the girls.
Our last night as our family being Ben, Tracy and Saige
Our last, you get it so many last as tomorrow we begin the list of FIRST with these 2 precious girls. We are beyond excited, happy, scared, humbled, grateful and overwhelmed.

Thank you ALL for your prayers, support, and encouragement as we have journey the past 803 days. We welcome you to stay with us as we begin this next chapter. Adoption is a beautiful gift given to all 4 of us and yet we recognize that it doesn't come without a cost.
