Our sweet judge... we're official!!Proud Grammies and Papas!
Yes, we swear and promise!
She's officially ShelbiLynn Janette Wilson!!
Wow! That's quite an entourage for miss Shelbs!
Whoo hoo!! The day we've been hoping and praying for finally arrived! Our big day in court was fantastic... Very relaxed but still "official". We had the sweetest judge ever; incredibly accomidating, even doting on all the kids. When we told him it was Christian's birthday he started singing "Happy Birthday" and the whole court joined in!
When I reflect back I see God's amazing hand over our whole journey; working out every detail in His perfect timing. And I have learned the lesson of a life time-- waiting on Him... in every detail... every fearful moment... every unknown. I know that I will never, ever, doubt again. Nor will I not trust whatever life has in store for me, because I know that if He can get us through this walk, coming out the other end feeling like we've hit our pot of gold at the end of our rainbow, He can surely do anything. It's no wonder she's our little ray of sunshine! His plans are mightier than we can ever imagine...
And now, our story is not coming to an end... it's only beginning! We are so blessed with our wonderful families, dearest friends and amazing church. Without this support we would have never been able to get through the rough spots. My prayer from the beginning (and when I say beginning, I mean, like several years ago when I began praying for this journey that God had so intensely put on my heart!) was that whatever the outcome, all would be for the sole purpose of bringing glory to our God. That others would see His mighty works and faithfulness through fostering and adoption. And I hope that has been so. I know truly, that Shelbi has touched more hearts for Christ in her short 15 months, than I'm sure I have in all my 30 years!! We are surely blessed beyond measure... our family is now complete.
