Well, it is official! We got a call from Tamara (A Family Journey agency director) yesterday and she was holding in her hand the official letter from PGN stating that Emily is our daughter; recognized everywhere that she is the daughter of Russell and Anne Loeffler. Can you believe it?!! The last things to happen are the birth certificate, passport and embassy stuff that have to be completed and we can go and bring our little girl home. It should be about 8 weeks for that to complete. Let's pray for 6 weeks. I could not hold back the tears when I found out yesterday. It still seems like a dream.
I want to thank you all so much for your continued prayer and support throughout this. Please do not stop praying. There are still many orphans around the world that need forever homes. Emily is one that now has a forever home. Also please pray for Lily (the foster mother) as she has been caring for Emily since birth except for the 10 months she was in the orphanage. Lily is a very sweet lady and has a wonderful family. This will be hard for her to see Emily leave Guatemala but she also told me herself that she knows this is best. Another prayer request is for the transition time and that little Emily will feel comfort and peace with us. I am sure that it will not be easy for her but then again, God is awesome and merciful.
I will update you all more when there is more. Praise God for this incredible thing that He has done.
Sincerely and in His grace,
Russell and Anne
