Last week while in Ethiopia, the Portilla family was gracious enough to take pics of our baby girl for us. When I got back from court this afternoon, they were sitting in my inbox!
Hi!
Here are a few photos of your precious angel! She was a darling and smiled for me a lot. It was our pleasure getting to meet her. We are praying God speed for you to go and pick her up.
Blessings!
The Portillas
I've already sent the pics to WalMart for printing! I can't wait to show them to Ashton tonight. I will say that Baby Girl is so much tinier than I expected. I'm ready for our court date so we can bring her home soon!
On the issue of court date, I am a little frustruated. We were told on the 14th that our case would be appealed the next day and a new court date given. I know that the group that issues letters approving the adoption were closed for the past 2 weeks but this shouldn't have affected our receiving a new court date. I'm wondering if maybe the next date couldn't be given until Ashure's death certificate was processed? Anyway, I feel like we're hanging in limbo right now so I have to keep telling myself to stop fretting and just let God work His timing. Maybe this week will bring us news of our court date - please pray!
