Madi finds out she is OURS!!

This is Madi's reaction when we told her about the Judge's decision today...She is very happy that she is now officially our daughter!
She also told us that she can't wait to meet her sister, Alex!



This is our first picture together after the Court's decision! Madi with her mom and dad!





We have lots to do to get ready for our trip back home. Also, since it is Jose's birthday, we have 2 GREAT reasons to celebrate tonight! We are going out to dinner with our new friend, Marina to celebrate!!!
Then tomorrow we visit Madi for the last time at the babyhouse...next time we see Madi we will be picking her up for good!
After the babyhouse we head to the airport to go to Almaty, Kazakhstan. We will go around Almaty as we wait for our flight back home to Miami!!!

We may not be able to post tomorrow (don't worry, if it's possible I will post pictures of Madi on our last day) , so just in case we want to say:

Thank you all for all of your wonderful posts supporting our adoption of Madison! It has been a lifesaver for us to read your comments and emails. It also helped us feel connected to our home and our more than wonderful family and friends!
We are very lucky to have such special people in our lives...and now there will be one more!!!

See you in MIAMI!!!!!!

Lizette and Jose,

Congratulations!!! What a beautiful family photo. Here's to a great trip home and a speedy process leading up to your return to pick up your beautiful daughter for good. It has been an honor to follow along, and we can't wait to see those "pick-up" photos.

All the best,

Karen.
