We did it!!

It's official!!  We were submitted in court today.  AMAZING, PERFECT. 

For our families and friends, this means we will receive a travel date in 1-2 weeks, and then travel 1-2 weeks after that.  We are over the moon excited. 

Last night before the kids went to bed, I told them to pray that our paperwork would be accepted in Sarah's country.  This morning, it was thrilling to watch their eyes light up, smiles surround their face, and Hip Hip Hoorays ringing through our household when I told them after they woke up.

I have so many emotions going through and will write a more eloquent post later.  But for now...

we've been SUBMITTED!!!!

  4. Yay!!!!! Congratulations fellow "submittee"! Your little Sarah is Adorable!! My husband and I are originally from Ohio, too - glad to see it represented! When I read the 1-2 weeks and then 1-2 weeks, it makes me freak out a little - but so excited, too! Prayers and hugs to your family.

  5. What a joy it is to be on the same page with you! (& Bobbie! :) I don't know if you know this, but your Sarah was on our short list when we were trying to decide who to commit to in 2009. Even after we decided to adopt from (5), her little face would still stop me in my tracks. I was sooo happy to see she had a family! And what a nice one she has! :) Hoping it works out that we can meet her in person this spring! Thanks to Jaime Hosford, I know a great park we can take them all to play, if we're all in the city at the same time. But more on that later! Right now just bask in your submittedness! ;)
