Chris,
It was with great excitement that I read your blog comment on my blog. When I saw the words ... we passed court I began to cry with excitement. I jumped on here to see Helena's beautiful face. PRAISE THE LORD! AND ... can I say, that picture of both of them is too priceless! Chris ... those are YOUR babies. NOW ... Go and bring them home! We are SO ready to meet them and celebrate with you that the Lord has delivered on his promises!
LOTS OF HUGS!

Chris (and family)~
What absolute joy it was today to read that Helena is now part of your family (officially). She is so beautiful and I can't imagine the overflowing joy you must have knowing she is now your daughter. I love that her birthday is July 4th--that is too cool.
I am so glad things were not delayed any further and that it won't be long until you bring these precious children home.
Doing the happy dance over here for you!
Congratulations and so much more,
Lisa
