Amazing Photos

We just received some of the most amazing photos of Baby G. She is so beautiful. I want her now. I hope this wait goes by fast. I think it has been taking around 10 weeks for people to get a court date. Passing on the first try is another story. Often people do not pass right away. For some it takes several attempts. Everything has to line up just so in order for it all to go off without a hitch. Something my God can do. I have seen His hand at every turn in the journey, this will be no different. Some who passed court early this week (at our agency) got notice that they travel next week. Seems like once court is passed (at our agency) people travel within a month AT THE MOST. Hopefully the 10 weeks to court date trend continues or speeds up. I hope things DO speed up for those staring down another court closure. Yuck.

Embarrassing

It is so embarrassing and discouraging when someone sends you pictures of a child and asks you if it is your child and you cannot say for sure. The picture is plain as day, but I do not recognize my own child! No, I do not have a brain injury (that I know of). All I have is a picture of her from nearly 3 months ago. We all know how much babies change in the first year of their lives. It is making me sick. Please pray for quick travel for us to get this child before she's a sassy teenager.

On a side note, we constantly say that flippity acts like a teenage girl. I got confirmation from my Dr. last week of such. He asked him to climb up on the table and he did his 'teenage girl' exasperated sigh, and the Dr. said "boy, you sound like a teenage girl". VALIDATION! I am living in the house of drama.

FINALLY! Kobernusz party of 5 please...

We got the call! Yesterday after I put baby M down for a nap I was searching the internet for international pediatricians when I my phone started ringing. It was the 781 area code. I'm sure my voice was shaking when I answered the phone. Here's the conversation:

E: Hi this is E from WH, how are you today
me: I'm fine how are YOU!?
E: Good, I have some good news for you
me: (already in tears) you do?
E: Her name is G and I spent the whole week with her last week. She's beautiful

more information was exchanged, but I won't put it all here.

She's perfect and healthy and gorgeous!
