One Step Closer

To making this little princess ours to keep.
Photobucket
Which means,this guy
Photobucket
will be also.
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sissy was born at home and bio Mom is not cooperating with the details of her birth.
Making it near impossible to get vital records to issue a Birth Certificate.
We have been waiting 8 months to hear that they are in fact going to issue a birth certificate. and we can move on to our adoption day, and then our ultimate goal,
THE TEMPLE.
Bubba's rights were severed around the same time. We have held off on finalizing his adoption so we could do them on the same, day at the same time.
We have been praying for this birth certificate every day, morning and night since we found out how difficult it was going to be to get it.When our case worker went in person to apply she was told by vital record that getting it would near impossible without more details. We were going to have to appeal to the courts for help, and wouldn't you know it, our miracle came just in time. Another blessing besides the birth certificate itself is that my children are recognizing that a loving Heavenly Father is aware of our family and he answers our prayers. This comes at just the right time because her Bio Mom has been trying to rock some boats lately and I will be able to feel more secure about my sweet Sissy when she is legally and more importantly, eternally ours!

Yay! How exciting to be able to make it official and take them to the temple. I think sealings that involve children are so incredible, so different when it's just a married couple. It's just a visual reminder of why we do it, you know? I usually don't cry at wedding sealings, but I leak like a sieve when there are kids being sealed to their families!

I know you have found this frustrating, but I had to chuckle about how she was not able to get a birth certificate....Um, HELLO?!! She's obviously alive and here, so at some point she was born!!! Give her the paper that proves it! Bureaucracy is SO dumb sometimes! :P
