The Day We Made the Judge Cry

THE JUDGE CRIED! ;) During our 1 hour long court hearing this morning, the judge CRIED and hid her face to regain her composure! This was after we told her, through an interpreter, just how much we already loved Roksana (Hannah Grace). It was just amazing. We were so THANKFUL that the judge came in for the scheduled hearing, because she had been delayed by sickness earlier. Bob told her how grateful he was that she would come in as planned and conduct the hearing, even though she was ill. She said that she knew just how important this hearing was, and so she came in :) May God bless her!

AND SO....WE HAVE BEEN APPROVED AS ROKSANA'S (HANNAH GRACE) PARENTS!! Roksana's name will be changed to Hannah Grace Roksana Stitt when we get her to the good 'ole U. S. of A! WHAT A HAPPY 4th OF JULY THIS IS ;)

...We are breathing GREAT SIGHS OF RELIEF AND ARE FILLED WITH JOY, JOY, JOY :) We can hardly believe that WE HAVE A DAUGHTER?! Unbelievable!

Thank you for your continued prayers. We now fly home the 8th of July and will wait the mandatory 15 days starting tomorrow before we fly back to Albania and bring HER, our DAUGHTER, home...home...HOME
