adoption and baby update
Sary's big sister here, writing a little note at her request to update you on family news, happy and sad.
First, the sad. A unprecedented glitch in the legal system has resulted in the court vacating their recent adoption order. This means that the kids are now back in the foster system, though for the time being still in Sary's home; we are hopeful that after all the legal wrangling is over (which could be months), they'll be able to adopt them "again." As you can imagine, this is all extremely troubling for everyone, so please keep the whole family in your prayers.
The happy news is that Sary is being induced tomorrow (they're going this route because of concerns about her high BP), so we'll all be meeting Baby Girl very soon! Stay tuned for the exciting announcement, and maybe even a photo!

The adoption was finalized on Monday! It was a very exciting day, and lots of friends and family were in attendance for our special occasion. Brandon took 337 photos, so maybe you'll see some of those showing up here sometime soon.
I'm 37 weeks and starting to have a lot of prelabor symptoms. I'm getting checked every week now - can't believe how fast time is moving right now. We started painting her room over the weekend (decided to move Josh in with Kayla) and now we have to fill it up with all of her new things.
Our little family is coming together. Crazy!
