Tomorrow's the big day!

Well we are off to Santiago (again) in the morning, early in the morning, for our adoption hearing. It's a 3 - 3 1/2 hour drive so we have to leave at 5:30 am. That's actually cutting it close, but these people drive crazy, so if we survive the trip, we should be on time for our 9:00 appointment! Knowbody seems to know what exactly we are doing, or what the process will be. It is sort of uncharted water. Well, like every other day, we'll just put it in God's hands. Don't look, just pray. And when you have no idea what they are saying to you, "just smile and nod"! Thankfully, we will have an interpreter with us. We will be coming back to Panama City tomorrow, Lord willing, with something declaring Maria our daughter forever! She has blossomed so much this week! She is so bright, mischevious, and loving! She is talking more, and picking up some English. We communicate fine, just not alway with spoken words. We'd probably all be better off if we let our hearts do the talking sometimes instead of our mouths! We had a great day today, we just want to be home with ALL our girls! Every day brings us a little closer to that goal. Thank you all for the prayers, they are working - keep it up! We love you all!
