FINAL COURT DATE, APPROVED! PASSED, DONE!

Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.Ephesians 1:4
God has pointed Jon and I into a direction we never thought our road would lead us, adoption. This journey has been a long, stressful, waiting game, but SO WORTH IT, as we know in our hearts that Aslynn is OUR DAUGHTER and this is what GOD desires from us. We open our hearts, our home, our family and religion to our new addition and we look forward to flying in December to bring her home. Thank you all for your support, love and friendship through our "journey to bring Aslynn home" it has been a bumpy road, but ONE that I HAD to go through to LEARN so many little life lessons and things that words couldn't describe. I can now post and share pictures of our daughter as the final court date just past, here is Aslynn Amira. I cant wait to get her home, give her a nice bubble bath, put her into some soft snugly clothes, of course put a BOW in her hair, and give her love, sing her songs and tell her how much we love her and have been waiting for her!
