He's Officially Ours!

We went to hear the judge's ruling today and he is ours!  His given names were Muhire Innocent and when we get back to Canada we will name him Ezra Muhire Innocent Robinson.

We are now a family of 4... wow!

Thank you so much for all your prayers.  God is so good!

This is us in the taxi on the way to court.


We went to go and get some important papers signed but once again there has been a mass exodus of the people we need to sign, so yet another step has to wait until Monday.  We still haven't heard from the Canadian Immigration in Nairobi and I am choosing not to worry.  This silence could really hold us up, but as I said to Shawn today, if this is God's will and they want to stand in the way  of His will, then I will gladly let Him fight the battle.  Please be in prayer for these potential hold ups.  Our return tickets are for June 7th... we desperately don't want to have to extend our time here (we have our son at home waiting for us and I miss him so much).

I was hoping that now we would be allowed to post pictures of our handsome son, but our agency said that it would be best to continue to wait. 

We finally found a place that served milk with coffee.  So at 6pm last night (after an hour of walking), Shawn was able to have his first "non-gross" cup of coffee.  FYI the normal stuff we seem to have access to is coffee creamer that is more like powdered parmesian cheese--in looks and smell.. and flavour.

He was sooo excited.  And, since they left the little coffe pot, he had about 3 1/2 of those cups of coffee. 



Thank you SO much for your love, support and prayers.  We can definitely feel covered in your prayers!

    1. Thank you thank you thank you! This is so exciting! We get to keep him for the days now and then until we get the travel letter he has to sleep at the orphanage. I guess this continues to ease all of us into the relationship. Thanks so much for your encouragament!
