Sentencia!

We received word today that our sentencia is ready! Geof will fly back to Neiva on Monday morning to sign the papers, and then Yamile will be legally and finally adopted!! Yesterday we had been told sentencia would be ready on Tuesday, but our representative called us today to tell us it is already done. She said it's the fastest she's ever seen it happen. Our papers were submitted on Tuesday and were ready by Friday. It is pretty amazing, as the families adopting from Bogota sometimes wait for many weeks to get sentencia. We are adopting from Neiva, so for us it is faster.

Anyway, it is late and we are all headed to bed, but we wanted to let you all know that things are moving along. It is conceivable that if everything falls exactly into place and we get everything done we need to do, we might actually be able to come home in a little over a week. We would appreciate your prayers to that effect. We are anxious to get home, but we also know God's timing is absolutely perfect.

By the way, thank you Flisa for spreading the word about our desire to hear more comments from all of you back home. And so many thanks to those of you who have taken the time to post comments. We are encouraged by them!! Please keep them coming!

Our love to you all.
