We are now officially shouting from our Champion Forest roof!!! PLAN called a few minutes ago and said the court documents came in! Maria Faith and Susannah Grace are now officially our little girls!!! ACFI is still waiting for the signed report from the Ministry of Health which should be completed by November 1. Once that is in, ACFI will deliver the report and the court documents to the American Consular for the pre-investigation in the Visa process. We were told this could take several weeks. Once that is done then we wait for an embassy appointment and we can make travel arrangements to go get our girls!!!
Please continue to pray for God to cause things to happen quickly and efficiently. Also, please pray that God will provide the money we will need for travel, which is very expensive.
Thank you again for all your prayers and support. Isn't it wonderful to finally hear some good news from the Youngs?!?! Can anyone hear our theme song, How Great is Our God, playing?!?!
P.S. I (Suzanne) really did get on the roof and shouted, but then I embarrassed the kids in front of their friends because I froze trying to get down. Not a pretty sight!

Spelling of Susannah's Name
We have been spelling Susannah's name the way Children Concerned was and it is different on their birth certificate. From this point forward you'll see her name spelled Susannah instead of Suzanna.

Adoption Update
We have good news and bad news to share with you today. The good news is that God answered our prayers and changed the hearts of PLAN and they have decided to continue to work with us in bringing home Maria and Suzanna.
The bad news is that when Judy Elkins was in Liberia she found out that nothing had been done with our case yet. We suspected this but are still extremely hurt. We explained to Riley, Luke, and Aubrey last night that even though we are very sad about this that we cannot look on this last year as wasted because God has been and is continuing to work out His perfect purpose and plan for our family, including Maria and Suzanna, and most important for His kingdom and glory.
Please continue to pray for God's protection of Maria and Suzanna as well as hope and patience for them as they wait to come home to us. Pray that God will cause all people to work together efficiently and quickly to bring the girls home as soon as possible! Pray that God will give us and Pastor Ted discernment and wisdom as we work with PLAN to bring the girls home.
We love you all and appreciate your prayers and support more than you will ever know.
Below is a picture of Maria and Suzanna that Judy sent from her trip to Liberia.
