So Typically when we see this big red "F", we think fail. Today however, the big "F" means something quite the opposite. "FOREVER FAMILY."
I can't type this fast enough. I am shaking and the tears are on. The phone rang at 7:23 am. "BETTER" shows up on the caller ID. It is BFAS. Good Morning Sierra. You PASSED court. Fikru and Dawit are legally yours. I am so excited. We have not even pulled down our last paper chain. Thanks you BFAS for not making me/us wait. Now by the end of the day we will know our travel plans as Agitu is working to expedite an Embassy day. Could be a week, could be 3 weeks. Soon enough we will hold our babies. Thank you all for your prayers! Lots of love this morning.
