My Mom got an email from Michelle yesterday. They are all doing very, very well. She said Mary Alan is sleeping well, which was the biggest concern. She has been sleeping in her foster parents' room so I guess a hotel room is not that much different. The plan is for her to continue to sleep in Michelle and Kelly's room when they get home until they have all adjusted to being here. We mommies all want our babies close by.
She said they talk to her before bed, pray with her, give her a kiss, and lay her down. She plays in her bed for a few minutes and then goes to sleep. WOW!!! She does better than my baby. Michelle is so thankful for Mary Alan's foster mother, Joan, who obviously has done a wonderful job.
They got their certificate of adoption, I believe 2 days ago their time. That means Mary Alan is officially theirs. WooHoo!!!! Finally, she is part of our family after several years of praying and waiting on God. To think that she wasn't even born yet when this whole process started brings tears to my eyes. To think we have been praying for this child literally, when she was in her biological mother's womb, is almost too much too take in. This is one of those moments, like the Israelites, we will point back to with our children and say,"God is faithful". We serve an AWESOME GOD!!! He is alive and working in this world. Even in a country, a very long way from here, that does not believe in Him.
