Today we entered the judges chambers and joined about 20 others. We walked in confident that God was in control, but we were warned that the discussion could be heated and we should be prepared to defend ourselves and our desire to become the parents of these girls. But after only a few minutes, we were surprised when we heard every attorney and person with an opinion say that they have read about us and feel that it is in the girls best interest to be with us. The judge agreed and our meeting was over after only 30 minutes. Things couldn't have gone smoother....and we give your prayers and our God credit for this!
Unfortunately, we were not able to get the court order for Macy to be released to us tonight, but we will get this in the morning and will race over to get her. We are okay with this...knowing that she's ours and we only have to wait one more day.
Celebrating and Thankful,
Gabe
