Pictures of Arri

Our adoption was finalized finalized today, as opposed to being merely finalized last week! The missing piece of paperwork made it to court and was approved, so we are officially Arri's parents! We will know on Monday when we return to bring her home, and it's a matter of how quickly our paperwork is processed. We are not about to be greedy and ask for a speedy Embassy date, since we have already been given so much more than we ever could have hoped for, in bringing her home before Christmas. I said that to our caseworker, and she said that she is trying her best to secure us the next Embassy date, which is Nov. 23. If that doesn't work out, our date will be Dec. 9.

Now that Arri is ours, I can finally post pictures. Here she is!! Meet Arri! These photos are from the day we met her!
