We passed court!
November 28, 2008I set my cell phone right next to my head last night, not knowing when the call/text would come in. Somehow I still missed it but discovered my text when I got up at 6:30 to go to the bathroom “It was early today (the call). You’re approved!” Mark was out hitting some of the stores so I called him on the phone to tell him the news. Can’t wait to tell the kids when they wake up.
So here, without further ado, are our beautiful kids, Wendemagegn & Beza.
Dustin and I wastched the video. It never gets boring seeing your beautiful kiddos!! We are rejoicing with you and are filled with thanksgiving the wait is coming to an end. We can’t wait to mee Wonde and Beza!!!!!
Congratulations Julie!!!! I am so happy for you and your family- Wendemagegn and Beza are beautiful and look like wonderful children.
It’s been a long journey for you and I am so glad it’s almost over.
Now go get them!
