We are still on Cloud Nine and so excited to be able to call Elizabeth ours! We love that the name we have chosen for her means "God's Promise," especially in light of the verse that we named our blog after. What an amazing gift that God promises us through His Son, Jesus Christ!
Speaking of names... We plan to call her "Elle," as a nickname and also as wonderful transition name from her Ethiopian name. You will have to remain in suspense with her Ethiopian name, as we are not allowed to post it on public access sights, such as this or Facebook, but once she is ours we will relay the amazing coincidence of her name!
In addition, we are not allowed to post photos of her in public forums, so if you have our email address and just simply can not wait to see her until after we travel for court, email me and I will do my best to send it to you privately. Really, we are so proud of her that we wish we could just post a picture of her adorable little self for you all to see, but until we can you will have to trust me when I say that her eyes are captivating!
You may ask, "What happens next?" Well, the answer is, "We hurry up and wait!" We are hopeful that in about 3-4months we will be traveling for our 1st court date. And if all goes smoothly, without any major bumps, that we will have her home sometime this fall. Of course there is always the potential that the process could move faster or slower, but we will make sure to update you all as we proceed and move along this next part of the road to bringing Elle home!
We Thank you all so much for your support and the help that you have given us already. What a blessing we have in our family and friends. I can not wait to introduce Elizabeth to you all!
