September Surprise!

Mark and I received wonderful news on September 27th.  We are official!  The judge returned and signed our adoption decree stating that we are legally the parents of Samuel Mark Steimer. Needless to say there were smiles all around and even some dancing!  Of course the next question on everyone's mind is, "What's next?"  We do not have an exact date yet.  Some paperwork has to travel from place to place before it reaches the US Embassy.  It will then be reviewed and then we will get an email discussing travel dates.  Please pray that this part of the journey goes smoothly.  We are so anxious to have our little boy home.
