If you haven't read the post HOPE, read it before this one.
In case you haven't heard, here's the latest family news:
We have added another girl to our family. She's 12 years old and she's absolutely delightful! She's the perfect fit for our family and I know she feels the same. We'll be transitioning her to our home within the next month, but after she's permanently placed in our home, the road to finalizing her adoption will be anywhere from a few months to a year.
We are SUPER excited and equally freaked out! I mean Dan and I have never parented a pre-teen before, but we're ready to jump in and be the parents that this girl needs. She's so excited to be a part of our family and she adores her new sisters.
We have truly seen the hand of our loving Heavenly Father through this journey of adopting more children this past year. We know that this is all meant to be and will work out for everyone involved, simply because it is His will.
I'm sure I will post more about our adventure soon, but in the meantime that's the latest news about our family.

Susan, I was so happy to read that you are adding another girl to your family. What a blessing for you and Dan. Isn't it amazing to see Heavenly Father's hand working in our life? I am so glad for you. I hope the transition goes well.
That's wonderful! Can't wait to meet her soon. :)
Thanks for your comments everyone. We appreciate them all.
Candice we should definitely get together!
Sarah the one sucky thing about adoption is that you don't get "showers". (At least I never did!) It's probably the one thing I get depressed about.
Thanks Shannon!
LeManda I can't wait to see you guys again. Since I can't come up there with the family until we finalize the adoption, I'll be waiting for you to make the trip down! You're welcome ANYTIME!!!
Thanks Oompa!
