Kira Svetlana McDonald!!!
They granted our adoption, (admit it, you guys were all worried) so she is now our little girl!!
They could not, however, waive the 10 day waiting period. So Chris will return to CA to take care of Maddie & Aislyn waiting at home, while I stay here and get to know Kira better.
The director at her orphanage said that we can come tomorrow and bring Kira here to our hotel while we wait the 10 days since it's a 4 hour round trip drive to see her AND to try and keep her from getting sick again from the other kiddos there.
She is still around 11 lbs ( about the size of a 3 month old), but even though she does not sit yet, she is close to scooting ( yay, a mobile baby :).
She laughs a lot more, but will need to get used to close contact since she is more used to being by herself.
So, there you have it.... Our new girl.
By the time I get home with her, it will have been 2years since started our journey....With a big happy ending!!!
Thank you to everyone for your support and prayers and feel free to pass this great news on!!
Love,
Emily & Chris
