Taylor's Last Day

I guess that title sounds bad! LOL. It's really just Taylor's last day as the baby of the family! God willing, and if the judge agrees with Ian and Mariana, who are representing us tomorrow in court, N will officially be a Hess!!! I am so excited and we are so optimistic that it will go according to plan! I have just prayed that the judge have an open heart to N having a family in America that can provide for her every need and love her for the rest of her life! And that no legal complications hold back his or her decision!!! What a great feeling it will be to know that the only step left is to go get her and bring her home! We won't know our travel date until sometime after tomorrow. They will need to issue a new birth certificate, get her visa and passport work going and her orphanage will need to prepare to let her go. They love her so much there and I know it will be very difficult to say good bye. It is the only home she has ever known so I continue to pray that her heart will be open to us and she will quickly accept us as her family! We have so many plans for her. Vacations to take. Places to go. The girls talk about all the normal, every day things that we will need to show her for the first time! We need to finish the bedroom, buy a car seat, get the clothes washed, organized, packed! We have many things to think about for our trip. The girls want to come so we will need to buy all the plane tickets, get a place to stay for 10 days, figure out transportation while we are there, get packed, figure out what to do with a 3 year old on a plane for 11 hours!!! CAN NOT WAIT!

Do not be anxious of anything, by prayer and petition bring your request to The Lord.
